HONOUR THE ELDERS
I was to visit my brother at his cabin on a bright summer day to show him a painting I had just finished of an eagle. Unknowing he had guests invited and I still stayed to meet them.
So I met two of his friends and the woman friend's spirit name was Blue Eagle.
So I went to my truck and gave her the painting of the eagle. She was honored by such a gift.
I got to know both her husband and her quite well..
Later on we got to talking and I told her of a book I had written . She said she was going to help me with editing the book.
I kept telling her the very sacred spiritual mane she carried. She asked me if we could some how put a sacred bundle together. So I told her to pick a day she wasn't busy and we'll get to start her journey of a sacred bundle for her.
It took us about four hours with the teachings and explaining the sacred objects that were required to start the bundle.Later she got to feast her sacred bundle.
After that she gave me a gift ,a small Christmas tree. She saw that my chair I sitting in was broken. She ordered me a new one and every time her husband or she would pass my way they would drop in with a Tim Hortons, French Vanilla coffee.
I was so proud of her .
She told me she was going on a trip to Mexico.
When she returned she brought me another gift, a shaker with different displays.... an eagle face and in the mouth of the eagle a carved human face. At the two ends were very fine grain quartz chert. Our people used to make their arrowheads and knives and other tools from this.
The stone has very spiritual strength carried with different clans of our people.
Like my other gifts from Mother Earth, these are very sacred to me.
In honor I would like to share a picture of my gift, in honor to the people that gave them to me.
