New World Trinity
The New World Trinity is a Totem of Wisdom.
Overview
This triune being is composed of three bird-spirits that inspired the Founding Fathers and Mothers of the American Revolution: Dove, Eagle, and Turkey. Dove represents the Jeffersonian ideals of peaceful commerce with all and entangling alliances with none. Eagle represents John Adams’ notion of a strong fierce warrior who fights so that his children may become philosophers. The Turkey, a uniquely American bird with high intelligence, represents Franklin’s ideas of audacious, defiant individuality and disregard for the Old World emphasis on external appearance over internal qualities.
