Robert ‘Standing Eagle’ Marshall was born in 1949, in Pittsburgh, Pa., blessed with the rich heritage of African, Seminole, and Cherokee. His elders were his first teachers. “I grew up in a household where my Great-great Grandmother, Great Grandmother, Grandmother, and Mother were all under one roof. And to say things would get interesting around that environment would be a gross understatement. But, looking back, I’ll tell you that I wouldn’t have traded it for anything in this world—it was a true treasure!”
‘Standing Eagle’, his ceremonial and tribal name, now 59 years old, is considered an “Elder”, and has worn many "hats" on this Earthwalk—Student, Soldier and Combat Photojournalist; Spiritual Warrior, and Teacher

One of his ceremonial duties has been that of a “Prayer Pipe Carrier” for the people, for over 15 years. “The Prayer Pipe was brought to the Lakota Nation by White Buffalo Calf Woman for her people. And that is how it has been for over 2,500 years—However the times and situations that are upon us now calls for a broader focus. So when I say, ‘For the People’, I mean ALL people—any and all who are of the family of man are prayed for through this pipe—it can not be looked at any other way!
