We witnessed a fallen Eagle feather today during Mawiomi & it was so beautiful to see the guard of it & the ceremony to pick it back up and return it to its rightful owner! ❤️🪶 A true honor to witness & be able to share with our youth council members. Thank you, Junior Peter-Paul for serving as this elder today.

Such a successful day, we ran out of hot dogs at 3:30! Don’t worry, though, we’ll be back at it tomorrow from 11-3! Than...

How cool would it be if Jackie ended up in Mi’kmaq hands! She’s a legend!

How cool would it be if Jackie ended up in Mi’kmaq hands! She’s a legend!

Following her heartbreaking passing at the Ojai Raptor Center, wildlife officials have shared the final journey for Jackie, Big Bear's iconic bald eagle. After a thorough necropsy performed at the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance, her remains were transferred into the custody of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. (article and *real* photo by )

From there, Jackie's remains are being transported to the National Eagle Repository at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge near Denver, Colorado. Operated by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, this unique facility carefully receives, stores, and distributes bald and golden eagle remains, feathers, and parts to enrolled members of federally recognized Native American Tribes for traditional, religious, and cultural ceremonies.

At the end of the day, Jackie will continue to influence and educate.

Legends never truly die.
