Native Americans believe many birds and animals bring messages to people from the Great Spirit and have magical abilities that empower human beings. The red cardinal is a bird that has monogamous relationships, so Native Americans believe that they symbolize monogamy and romance.
Bats symbolize rebirth because they live in cave-like environments and come out in the evening, effectively being ârebornâ every night from within Mother Earth. Native Americans considered the bat to be a symbol of communication because bats have strong family ties and are extremely nurturing and social creatures.
