- 16 USC Sec. 668 (01/24/94) - TITLE 16 - CONSERVATION - CHAPTER 5A - PROTECTION AND CONSERVATION OF WILDLIFE - SUBCHAPTER II - PROTECTION OF BALD AND GOLDEN EAGLES - Sec. 668. Bald and golden eagles This law provides for the protection of the bald eagle (the national emblem) and the golden eagle by prohibiting, except under certain specified conditions, the taking, possession and commerce of such birds. The 1972 amendments increased penalties for violating provisions of the Act or regulations issued pursuant thereto and strengthened other enforcement measures. Rewards are provided for information leading to arrest and conviction for violation of the Act. The 1978 amendment authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to permit the taking of golden eagle nests that interfere with resource development or recovery operations. (See also the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and the Endangered Species Act.)

- Illegal to Possess - by Aliess M. Brady

US - Northeast |
- If you are neither a hunter nor a shopper, the dangers you face are legal rather than spiritual. Perhaps chief among the illegal practices in Native American spirituality is the widespread use of ceremonial tools (fans, wands, necklaces, altar ornaments) made from feathers, talons, teeth, bones and hides of animals, the possession of which may or may not be legal from state to state or year to year. Be aware that instances of entrapment have been reported.

- For hundreds of years, Native Americans have used eagle feathers for religious and cultural purposes, including healing, marriage, and naming ceremonies. In recognition of the significance of these feathers to Native Americans, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service established the National Eagle Repository in the early 1970's to provide Native Americans with the feathers of golden and bald eagles needed for religious purposes.
