Eagle & Pipe | Love & Peace

12/1/2025

Comments

 

Made in 2017 from Eagle Lake stone, found near Lake of the Woods.
​

Imagine the eagle represents love,
The eagle has total freedom and great vision,
Able to see from horizon to horizon,

Yet they can still spot a mouse or fish from high in the sky
Full of strength and beauty, able to soar gliding on the wild 
Or swoop with great speed to accomplish its goals 
Love is a lot like that,
It must be freely given from the heart
And have vision to see the big picture along with all the little details Gathering strength and sharing its beauty with the world
Love knows when to peacefully soar 
And knows when to act with speed and precision
For it is selfless
These teachings from our Creator and elders bring us together
In our search for lasting peace in this land Love brings us towards each other and helps bind us 
So that we may smoke the Pipe of Peace around our circles 
Grow love in our society and plant strong communities 
This carving is a call and reminder to our leaders and the people 
In order to share this land in peace,
We must start from the heart

Bison Chief

Made in 2019 from Winnipeg stone.
​

In the heart of this land, there was a time not long ago when the earth would thunder and shake, 
And sing with the beat of a million hooves Strength could be felt down to your bones through your spirit, echoing the truth of unity and family
The bison taught our chiefs and leaders  The strength in coming together  Flowing in unison over the land,  Like a society of people,  United in caring for mother earth and each other
Those days are gone, The bison don’t shake the land and thunder the truth  For us anymore It's now up to us to teach and practice this truth  To thunder our voices  And dance in celebration of our strength in coming together So all can witness and learn the strength and harmony  That is found in the heart of this land

A brief walkthrough of my process

11/6/2014

This stone was originally found at Eagle Lake, Ontario.​
Picture
This stone stood here for almost 2 decades, a pause in its journey, waiting to be transformed!
Picture
This is the stone on site and ready for carving!
Finally, after a lot of work and some questionable moments. The weight exceeds 7500 lbs!!
Picture
After much thought, consideration and meditation I figured out where the bottom would be, and made the first important cut.
Picture
The process for standing it up was pretty intense !
Picture
Picture
Here I am making the first few cuts! ​Slowly but surely and a lot of intense cutting.​
Picture
A lot more progress made here! ​When wet, the natural color of the stone, black, is more visible!
Picture
After some more refining cuts.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Here it is finally done!
