EAGLE BONE WHISTLE


The Eagle bone whistle is an extremely powerful spiritual object. Every young man was to make his own whistle, he was required to lay in wait covered with brush and earth and catch an eagle with his bare hands to do this. It was a most difficult and dangerous task. After the catch, the Eagle was Honored in Ceremony, and the young man used his wing bone to make his whistle. He used the Eagles feathers for his personal regalia. With the exception of the center tail feather, Which was gifted to the Holy Man.
