The Bald Eagle is the National Bird of the United States and was declared the National Emblem in 1782. The Bald Eagle has become the symbol of Freedom in the U.S.A. and has played a large part in the American Art World for centuries.
Eagles can be found in much folklore, songs and especially in the Native American Culture. Some American Indian Tribes considered the Bald Eagle to be sacred; some believe that the Creator had chosen the Eagle to be the Leader or also known as the Master of the Sky.
