Eagle & Hummingbird
The Eagle & The Hummingbird
The Eagle is a symbol of the spirit, power & prestige, while its 'down' symbolizes peace and friendship. Once an eagle finds a mate, they will be with one another for life. The eagle has been reserved as one of the two significant crests of the native people and is highly respected by all who share its environment. When given by a female to her mate it represents the peace and security she feels having him in her life and the friendship they share, the protection she feels and how proud she is tthat he is her man.
Men will give an eagle to a precious loved one, for to quote a popular song ... "she is?the wind beneath his wings."
The Tsimshian believe the Hummingbird to be a joyful messenger, healer and a mysterious traveller. When one appears in a time of great pain and sorrow, healing will soon follow. It also symbolizes the fragility of nature and all living things. This symbol is often used in gifts between lovers, for wedding rings, on a bracelet or any piece of jewelry - it says "You are wished great joy, healing and love." The hummingbird also tells the receiver they bring welcomed joy to the giver's life.
Julie and I gave each other matching 18K gold Eagle & Hummingbird Wedding Rings made by? Tsimshian native artist and craftsman ~ Bill Helin. He is incredibly gifted and we know you will love anything you buy from him (and he doesn't need to pay us commissions to say so)
