Eagle steals Moon


A unique one piece carving representing Human transforming, Moon and Eagle. Red cedar with cedar bark braid.

Back when it was always dark, it was also always summer. Eagle went hunting and came across a powerful Chief known to have the Sun and Moon stored in a bentwood box. When the Chief and his people fell to sleep, the eagle opened the box and the Sun and Moon escaped, giving light to the land, but also taking away much of the heat, which is how Winter came to be.
