Dance
of the Turtles
It is said that it was a little Turtle who climbed
into the
sky and gathered the
lightning into a great
ball, which became the sun, and a smaller
ball
which became the moon, and so there
was a light in the world.
—Iroquois tradition |
Evergreen
"Is not the sky a father and the earth a mother
and
are not all living things with feet
or wings or roots their
children?"
- Black Elk. |
Homelands
Eagle is our messenger to the Creator and
Symbol of the Great
Peace of the Iroquois Nation.
We honor him, he who flies the highest.
Eagle remembers and always longs for the Homelands.
Half-remembered, waiting in the past. |
