| Children's art at Mt. Stewart PEI Eagle Festival |
Today may be a
Wills and Kate day for Canada and PEI in particular but it's a big birthday down south in the States. After we hooked our Bald Eagles for a spring Eagle Festival in PEI, we realized that The
American Bald Eagle is symbolic of the United States of America. We have an eagle that flies by our place every day to get to the water. I don't claim to know very much about the eagle in native culture but I do know that the eagle and it's feathers are important and symbolic to their culture. If anyone has information on eagles in native culture, I will gladly put the info/sites here.

The displays for the kids were really interesting for adults too.
The organizers made every effort to tell the story of the eagle.

| Eagle Ceremony - dancing and drums |
School children had learned about eagles in their classes and the display of pictures and poems filled a whole room at the event. To make the opening ceremony complete, an eagle flew high in the sky as the drums began to beat.
