Every year since 2000, the Des Moines area hosts the “White Eagle Multicultural Pow Wow”. It’s held in memory of Ralph Moisa (aka White Eagle), a young Native American who lost his life in 1995 while rescuing a Red Tailed Hawk. The Pow Wow was held at Antique Acres near Waukee, Iowa.
Part of the closing ceremony is the release of a rehabilitated Red Tail Hawk. The Pow Wow has been able to do this every year since they started. This year was no different, - this handsome bird was soon to be free. Ralph is shown here just before the release of this bird.
