Eagles have always been a lasting symbol of Native American peoples. Their beauty and majesty have inspired many artists and cultures throughout North America. Bald Eagles also play an important role in ecosystems that many Native Americans call home. Much of the protection of Bald Eagles was started due to their significance. Our presentation hopes to highlight and improve the understanding of this unique bond.
