On one side, the sculpture depicts the head of a Bald Eagle, America's national symbol that in reality became that symbol a thousand years ago to Native Americans who revered the eagle as a spiritual symbol of freedom and power. Behind the Eagle is the face of the ruins at Mesa Verde. Above the ruins are the moon and sun which the Anasazi, who were astronomers, followed in their to determine their life cycles.

The other side of the sculpture symbolizes Mother Nature with both male and female entities. The man is depicted on the left side as a rock with petroglyphs showing the animals that men hunted to sustain their families. On the right side is an ear of corn which represents the feminine aspect as "Mother Corn" that was the essence of life as it provided food for sustenance. In the center is a head of a Peregrine Falcon which is a bird of prey that is perfect in form, flight, and evolutionary function. The Falcon is the fastest creature known to man and is a survivor. All these symbols reflect the spirit that the Anasazi maintained in hope of surviving the future.
