With their wings unfurled and strong, viewing the earth below in wonder, they see everything. They see the wide open prairie, the tree covered towering mountains, the sparkling oceans and rivers, all of the bright colors of earth with her ten thousand flowers, so much beauty to behold. In their wonderings they see the gaily dressed Kachinas' dancing and playing their flutes, givers of songs and life. Flowers bloom at their beckoning and rains gently fall to nourish all living things. The dancers' arms outstretched and holding the wooden song makers trying to be as graceful and beautiful as the eagles that fly above them. Try as they may they are never so graceful and beautiful as their brother and sister eagle, created by God to carry the souls of man to a higher place, a place of never ending peace and love. We mortal beings, it seems, lose sight more and more of earth fragile beauty and our need to care for her. Let us not become takers of life but givers of love and respect for all of God's creations. Walk in beauty and it will walk with you.

Mouse WomanAlaskan Native Art - 1890
Within all Alaskan native paintings live many spirits. All are a part of the whole. Bird, eel, snake,
fish, flowers, all are held within the heart. We are after all a part of each other. Our lives are no
more significant than any other living form. One might consider well, the things that we take into
ourselves as they are forever more a part of us. |

4 Bears 4 DirectionsThe Bear Shield The power of the great bear is called for to protect the owner of the shield in battle. As the hail storm of bullets and arrows are shot at the warrior, the bear extends his great and powerful paw to stop the bullets and arrows from hitting their target. The paws with claws extended, were said to protect the warrior on every side. Bear is a great protector for family. Tribal families were very close, and if Bear was one of your totems, you were very lucky. This drum was painted after the likeness of a great war chief, used in battle in Upper Missouri , in the early 1800’s. It is a treasure of the Dept. of Anthropology Nation Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institute.

Alaska SalmonLife to Life - The Salmon of the Great Waters
It has long been known that mankind needs the assistance of all life forms to survive. Without the great
fish of the waters where would mankind be? In times long gone to the advances of man, the hooks of man
dropped into the water hoping to catch food for their families to sustain them through the changing seasons
especially the long winters. The Salmon of the great waters were plentiful and had fresh clean water to swim
in, to breed in and to lay their eggs in for the continuation of life. Now, the waters are polluted,
the earth is in a state of heating up and so are the waters of the earth. Global warming is no joke.
The joke is liable to be on mankind for in all of his greedy taking he has forgotten to honor and give
thanks to all life forms and to the Gods of their creation. Mankind is feed at the cost of one of his
relations lives.

The Walking Drum
The Walking
Most of us walk through our lives never thinking of the shoes of others, unless it is to judge them. We judge
as we please, the shoes on the men and woman who wear them. How much do they cost, are they in style what are
they made of?
