Fly Like an Eagle in Redding
When an injured Golden Eagle (right photo) arrived at Redding’s Turtle Bay Aquarium, she had no name. The bird was found in the Livermore area where she was struck by a windmill, severing the tip of her right wing. She needed a permanent home in a facility that could care for her so two months after the passing of Auric, a Golden Eagle who had lived at Turtle Bay since 1999, she was adopted. Wintu cultural practitioners Art and Michelle Garcia were invited to name her and they chose “Seteweela” (pronounced Sat-ay-wa-la), meaning “one who soars.”
Seteweela’s digs overlook the Sundial Bridge where vertical dance pioneer Bandaloop recently flew into town to rehearse for the world premiere of a new show to take place in June 2014 as part of Celebrate 10 (celebrate10.com) anniversary of the famous bridge. Bandaloop soars through the air performing spectacular, aerial acrobatics with the help of ropes and cables. The anniversary event should be a sight for “soar” eyes as attendees are treated to an aerial show and can see ‘the one who soars’, Seteweela.
