ABOUT OUR LOGO
“The eagle symbolizes the power of the Great Spirit. It represents strength, courage, grace, great perception and freedom. Eagle down, a symbol of peace and friendship, is sprinkled before guest on ceremonial occasions. I dance this peace dance at my family’s potlatches. I am guided by my ancestors when I create my work. It is a spiritual journey of self healing.” Wade Baker
