â The Messengerâ. Harold C. Joe, is the Aboriginal Film Maker who produced the documentary on the homeless
called, âBroken Downâ. Harold and the Red Tailed Hawk are one and the same. In the native spiritual tradition, the hawk represents a "messenger" .   Harold told me how The Red Tailed Hawk has a powerful and personal meaning to him .    As he was speaking I saw that Harold himself was also the Hawk or "messenger" bringing his peoples stories to life in film. I couldn't paint Harold without painting the hawk. This piece has been on display in the Federation Gallery on Granville Island, Vancouver, BC
