Hawks are often seen as a symbol of power, courage and strength. What is the spiritual message of a hawk? The hawk's message inspires us to be courageous in pursuing our spiritual growth, confident in the knowledge that the path ahead will be illuminated by our intuitive knowing. By embracing the profound spiritual energy of the hawk, we learn to navigate life with grace, clarity, and a broader perspective. Native Americans lived off the land and are said to have had a spiritual relationship with red-tail hawks. Garth C. Clifford of "World Birds: Joy of Nature" writes “As per Native American shamans, the red-tailed hawk symbol with its sharp, eagle-like whistle indicates ‘that you should clear your mind.’ If you keep seeing a hawk with white feathers, something very sacred is about to take place, and the Creator is giving you a message that a miracle is on the way.” The Cherokees used their feathers in ceremonies, dangerously catching and releasing the hawk to gather them. “The red-tailed hawk is said to be a protector spirit of the Cherokees and is therefore considered sacred. Tail feathers were and are used ceremonially. However, the bird would never be killed during collection of such. Skilled 'hunters' would bait the hawks in, catch them with their hands and then release them after collecting a few feathers,” according to Cherokee Nation. One of the easiest hawks to identify is the red-tail because of its distinctive tail. It is not really red, but more of a cinnamon rusty or rufous color. Also known as the “chicken hawk,” it is the second largest hawk in the United States and can reach an astonishing 120 mph in a dive. They enjoy open habitats and will build their nests in the tops of trees where they can view the landscape. Feathers are between 10" to 12" in length.
