All Eagles can trace their ancestry to Djilaqons, Greatest Mountain. From Djilaqons were three branches of Eagles: the Ninstints Eagles, Property-Making-A-Noise and Labret Woman. The Massett Eagle lineages come from Labret Woman. The Eagle clans all own the Eagle as a crest and all but one clan own the Beaver.
