April Ojibwe Word of the Month - ZAAGIDWIN
Love: zaagidwin ( zaa -zhwa-gwin )
Eagle: migizi
The eagle represents love because he has the strength to carry all of the teachings. The eagle has the ability to fly highest and closest to the creator and also has the sight to see all the ways of being from great distances. The Eagle’s teaching of love can be found in the core of all teachings, therefore and eagle feather is considered the highest honor and a sacred gift. To know love is to know peace. View your inner-self from the perspective of all teachings. This is to know love and to love yourself truly. Then you will be at peace with yourself, the balance of life, all things and also with the creator.
