The Eagle of Humanity Has Two Wings-Women and Men

We know from our ancient Indigenous teachings that the sacred eagle of humanity has two perfectly balanced and harmonious wings—one representing woman and one representing men. In all our relationships as women and men, brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers, we must join together to eliminate all forms of disrespect, mistreatment, prejudice, or lack of sharing in the responsibility of raising all of the humanities children.

Comment by Janet K Archer on December 13, 2012 at 7:24am: I have been fascinated with Eagle since I was a child. Isaiah 40: 29-31 : He (She) (Creator) gives power to the weak, And to those who have no might. He (She) (Creator) increases strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, And the young men shall utterly fall, But those who wait on the Lord (our Creator). Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint." I am thankful to hear that the Eagle has balanced, harmonious wings--one representing woman and one representing men. I am glad to see women included in this story. It will take all of us, men and women, all people's of the world to work to make peace and make change to nurture our earth from such pollution and destruction to green earth, clear waters, wellness, wholeness.
