Three Eagles the Nes Perce native american one with nature painted by James H. Klippel and Christine P. Canova

The Nez perce, (NIMIIPUU),  "the people", believed in spirits called Wyakins, which would offer a connection to the invisible world of spiritual world and powers. Here, Three eagles , a spirit himself now, is releasing the birds, Wyakins, to connect to the universal beauty.  The abstract painting of Three Eagles, by James H. Klippel and Christine P. Canova  conveys the metaphor through art  of the tribal belief in a river of spirits flying through eternity.
