An eagle feather, lying on Annika’s kitchen table. It had been given to her by a Native American visiting Sweden. For many Indians an eagle feather is a very sacred object and it should probably not be in her hands. What was she supposed to do with it? Should she return it and if so, to whom?
She decided to bring the feather to some Navajo friends in New Mexico to ask for guidance.
The feather took her deep into Indian communities all over US. She experienced Indian frustration.
”First they killed our people. Then they took our land. Now they steel our faith.”
But the Indians are fighting back. This time the fight is not about protecting life and land.
Instead they are fighting to protect their culture. Their last outpost.

Comments
If a native person gives you a feather you should accept it. If you can't accept someone telling you that you are a special person. You've got a problem. I was glad you spent the time and energy to educate people about native issues. But you have put yourself in the position of being a mouthpiece for native issues. It seemed a little self-righteous and heavy and self-serving. You made your self a good person, you did the right thing through your own efforts and control but you couldn't take it when another person aknowledged you were a good person.

Posted: Nov 30 2009, 20:30Report Abuse...i think that the feather is just that: a feather!
When one's beliefs involve the eagle (and spirituality) and is important to that person, the object is sacred in that sense.(like say a cross to some)
A Native (american) too has to have good "reason" to have "Eagle parts" in possession, and if given as a gift to a non "believer" or some one without knowledge, it is a gift of very good friendship and is a life long.
how can i see the film?
