The three young birds—named Met-ha my wahm (meaning “high wind rider”), Po-mahn-kwakurr (meaning “far-off flyer”) and Eyaip-poman (meaning “flies through”)—are important representatives of their species, which are seen as symbols of power by indigenous North American people. These condors are candidates for future reintroduction into the wild and will carry their names into the skies of North America.
