Vision Quests are something the first nations people have been bdoing for thousands and thousands of years, from one end of the island to the other, in parts of the interior, as well as other provinces across Canada. Vision Quests are very important to center and balance us. What we do is go without food and water for a few days, called a fast. It allows us to be much more in tune with our environment, which then allows us to be closer to God, the Creator, who in turn answers our prayers. These practices have been going on for hundreds of generations and a lot of people have described Vision Quest as their being transformed into an eagle and they are flying, and the eagle in this piece represents that.
