In Native American spirituality, birds are powerful allies in the natural world. Evan Pritchard presents the gatekeepers of the four directions--Eagle, Hawk, Crow, and Owl--explaining their roles in legends and the use of their feathers in rituals. He provides examples of interpretations that can be applied in our own encounters with birds, along with ways we can encourage them to communicate with us.
