Killing Eagles our Brothers
Native Americans claim religious-liberty right to kill eagles With the population of bald eagles now high enough that they're no longer protected under the federal Endangered Species Act, some American Indians in Wyoming say the federal government shouldn't require them to get permission to kill the birds for religious ceremonies.
The 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver is scheduled to hear arguments next month about whether to reinstate a criminal charge against Winslow Friday. He's a member of the Northern Arapaho tribe who shot a bald eagle on the Wind River Reservation in 2005 for use in his tribe's Sun Dance.

White Buffalo Calf Woman Speaks: No eagle is to be destroyed, killed or manipulated in any way to receive feathers. The only way to receive a feather is if the Eagle gifts it to you. This is the law of heaven. Your akicita (law bringer) has spoken!
