Author Description

Boy took off running toward the tepee to find his father. Boy found his father coming out of the tepee, but was so excited, he could hardly speak. When Boy anxiously pointed towards the sky, his father looked up, and saw what his son was pointing too. He told his son that it was an eagle, one of the most revered birds to the Indian people, for it represented the great warrior spirit. Admiring the eagle, Boy told his father: "I want to be an eagle when I grow up." His father laughed saying, "Maybe, someday."
