"From the time that an Indian is a boy, he seeks to become more and more like the animal he has chosen to be his helper thoughout life. When a warrior adorns himself with eagle's feathers, claws and bones, he brings to himself the special strengths and abilities of the great Eagle Spirit. Rushing War Eagle is a painting of a warrior who has been empowered by his chosen protector - the golden eagle."--Bev Doolittle.
