From the “iroquois constitution”, what role does the eagle play?

“we place at the top of the tree of the long leaves an eagle who is able to see afar. if he sees in the distance any evil approaching or any danger threatening he will at once warn the people of the confederacy.”

a. soldier
b. bird of prey
c. guard or protector
d. source of food

From what we can see in this excerpt from the "Iruquois Constitution", the role played by the eagle is that of C. Guard or protector.

Explanation:

The eagle is told to be able to see afar, so it can act as a guard and alert the others of any evil approaching in the distance. Also, since it is said that the eagle only warns the people about the danger approaching but it does not attack or confront the enemies, the eagle is not a soldier or bird of pray. Option D is also incorrect because the excerpt does not tell us that the Iruquois eat the eagle.

So option C. Guard or protector is the correct answer.
