Mount Up With Wings
Karon Crutchley
Category: Paintings
The bald eagle, known as awale or uwohali in Cherokee, is revered by the Cherokee Nation as a symbol of power, wisdom and peace. The eagle is held in the highest regard over other birds. There is great significance in the feathers, which symbolize honor and bravery, with "twin feathers" (from the wings) representing lifelong commitment, collected by the most respected men normally going to war.
The legendary status in tradition: mother eagle lines her nest with soft fur then removes it once the chick is feathered to force it to leave the nest, encouraging self-reliance.
