Perhaps there is a lesson in this film for all of us. It may even be a modern parable. There isn't any under current of disrespect for tradition. Nor is there a globalizing of the qualities of the Eagle Huntress as belonging to all women. Her schoolmates quickly declare they do not have the courage nor the calling. Yet they support their friend's journey. The elders are won over by the 'fruit'. What the Eagle Huntress lives is not just a matter of her head but is a merger of head and heart.  The elders simple acknowledge and celebrate qualities that are fruit bearing for the whole community. The actual hunting experience is probably the most revealing because she must offer opportunity to the eagle to be all that the eagle was created to be. Recognizing what she received and giving it to others. Care for the community not only for self.

Much to ponder here... and I am so grateful for being offered this 'opportunity to grow'. 


Peace and all good
