Eagle Trickster of Blackfoot
The Eagle Trickster from Blackfoot (Niitsitapi) tradition in the Canadian plains is a complex spirit entity that governs the ocean waters and the seasonal cycles affecting both the Pacific coast and inland waterways. In Canadian Blackfoot oral traditions, this being is closely associated with Napi, the creator-trickster, who transforms into an eagle to observe human activities from above. It plays a vital role in teaching the Blackfoot people about the interconnectedness of all waters, from the Rocky Mountain streams to the Pacific Ocean
