Eagle Feather

In the land of the Ojibwe, the Eagle feather is

a powerful possession. Those who are lucky

enough to obtain one are either very wise or

very brave. There is a story about a man who

spent his whole adult life in search of the

wisdom that comes with the Eagle feather.

Every day he searched and prayed to be given

this magical gift, ignoring even his family and

closest friends. then one day he could stand it

no more. and he said to the Creator. "I have

given up everything in search of my Eagle

feather and my life is passing me by. I will

now stop and spend the rest of my life helping

others." All at once a shadow fell over him and

he looked up to see an Eagle! As he gazed up

at this Great Bird, a feather slowly drifted to

earth, and fell at his feet. 

His wisdom had finally come.
