The term 'The eagle has landed' can be attributed to the Hopi, an indigenous tribe of the northern continent of The Americas. It is really a lament expressed in the hope that the rich culture of the Hopi and other tribes would finally be vindicated and accepted by white people and allowed to flourish. The eagle was sacred to the Hopi and other indigenous people. In this sense the meaning is metaphysical. The bald eagle is also the national symbol of The United States of America. The words 'the eagle has landed' took on new meaning when Apollo II landed on the moon and Neil Armstrong was heard to say them, meaning that the nation of America had finally succeeded in landing on the moon. Since then, the words are frequently used by many people to indicate reaching the final goal of any project or endeavour.
