Legend of the Hopi Boy & the Eagle

[hockeymomknits]

I saw this on t.v. as a 10 year old girl growing up in New Mexico. I have been searching all over for the movie as it was imprinted on my brain and I always wondered what it was called and whether I dreamed of it. I didn't really remember the whole story, only the vision of the indian boy climbing up a mountain and something about an eagle. Now I get to see the context of that long-ago memory. Thanks!

Thanks for the upload! I saw this movie as a kid and have been looking all over for it.

Thanks for this video. I saw it as an 11-year old boy in the Netherlands back in 1971. For decades it has been imprinted into my memory, though I had forgotten the name of the movie.

The Eagle would be the power-animal of my choise since then.

Searching the web I refound the name through IMDb some year ago.

Disney Company: bring it out on dvd :-)

cheers, Ton

PS: Iemand in NL die de video wil uitlenen of branden?

I saw this movie with my father many years ago. In the years since, it almost seemed like a dream. Unforgettable.

I am fully blooded Hopi and one of my grandfathers told me about this movie. He remembered watching it when he was a little boy and i wanted to find it for him. Im happy to say I found it :)

@cherisse83 I remember watching this movie as a film strip in grade school and loved it. Is it based on a real Hopi legend?

[tontar]

I watched this movie as a child, like many here had. All these years later I have never forgotten it when we have the opportunity to fly side by side with bald eagles and osprey in our hang gliders. I can tell you that the wonder and magic of that film lasts forever, and is realized on special occasions like yesterday when an immature Bald Eagle came to fly within a few feet of me for several minutes. We look at them, and they look at us, and we share the air together. Search"Flying With Eagles"

@tontar Thats amazing!!! I see eagles practically everyday flying over the lake when I get up in the morning...Sometimes a few monster eagles with their catch...slows them down LOL...looks like they have a 3 year old...other times the younger ones never give up as they try the catch & snatch over the lake...

que buena historia, podría decir que trata del mundo duro que te golpéa y obligado tienes que levantarte como guerrero y ser libre, asi nada te puede dañar y puedes volar por encima de lo terrenal

[hiqutipie]

@TheW2z Eso es lo que la vida no se trata de seguir a otros, sino encontrar y seguir su propio camino y el aumento de las águilas!!! -_^

In my people the Shawnee eagle is peleoi. ( pay-lay-th-a)

[kevink85255]

Whenever I see the eagle take flight here in Arizona I look to see if it is TooTavina.

[jcsilvaa7]

Haven't seen that in so long, I've searched forever!! Thanks! Love it!

After I saw this as a kid I put on my Superman cape and coonskin cap and climbed up on the roof. My brother chased me up the ladder so I squawked at him and jumped. I almost broke my ankles.

I too have never forgotten this movie after seeing it when I was about 6 or 7 years old. I also cried when he turned into an eagle. I am now going to share this amazing legend with my 6 year old students who are studying Native American culture.

[hiqutipie]
