THE MANIFESTO IS MUTATING!  IT IS TURNING INTO A WIKI THAT CAN BECOME THE HIVE MIND OF ALL COSTUMERS, FINALLY LIVING UP TO IT'S SLOGAN: "COSTUMERS OF THE WORLD, UNITE!" YOU CAN HELP IN THIS PROCESS BY MOVING PAGES TO THE NEW SITE AT THECOSTUMERSMANIFESTO.COM, HELPING TO EDIT THE PAGES THAT ARE THERE ALREADY, AND ADDING YOUR OWN ORIGINAL INPUT.

The Eagle's Gift (1993)


The fox spirits begin the play

Root woman and the entanglement people are pained by the death of the Eagle

Root Woman hears the Eagle Mother's Call

Blood Woman

eaglesgift.jpg (66183 bytes) Blood Woman (rear) brings the young couple to the mother of the Giant Eagle they killed. The old Eagle mother asks them why they killed her son.

Eagle Mother transforms into a young Shaman-woman and begins to heal the ills of the young couple who killed her son. She then teaches them the ways of their ancestors, and the way to sing and dance. Singing and dancing brings the Eagle's spirit back to his mother.
