According to Washing a Irving, the
Delaware Indians had superstitious
reverence for the eagle, believing that
a guardian spirit in the form Of this
bird watched over them, lowering In
the sky far out Of sight. When pleased
with their actions, he sent abundant
crops and made them have great sue
cess In hunting, but when displeased
he would vent his rage in the thunder,
which was his voice, and the lightning,
which was the flashing Of his eye, and
strike dead the object OF his dlspleas-
ure. They also believed that the feath-
ers or this bird would render the wear
