SHINING EAGLES' AMERICAN INDIAN FACES IN LEATHER

BEAUTIFUL AND UNIQUE CREATIONS

tracks03

I am Shining Eagle, of the Northern Ioway Tribe of Kansas and Nebraska. I create sculptured leather masks. A cast is taken of the face, and a leather mask is created from this form. The reflection seen in the finished mask is the spirit of the Native American People. The leather masks were first created by CrowWolf, a Cree artist of many talents. Previously known as Soaring Eagle.
At the moment, I am working on a series of masks,"The Ioway Peoples" As they are finished, I will add them to this site. They are casts of tribal members, and are a first!!

Like a ShiningEagle she'll be there For she is a forest creature A lady of the trees.
