Winslow Friday, a Northern Arapaho tribal member who admitted killing a bald eagle in 2005 for use in a religious ceremony, makes his way into the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals at the Federal Courthouse in Denver. A member of the Northern Arapaho Tribe who killed a bald eagle for use in his tribe's Sun Dance in 2005 must stand trial, a federal appeals court ruled.
The “tribal nation” within a nation concept doesn’t work. Either you’re an American or you’re not.

Redskins vs. Eagles bump
“The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed-and thus
clamorous to be led to safety-by menacing it with an endless series of
hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.”-H.L. Mencken
I thought they had to climb up a cliff and grab the eagle by the feet and kill it bare handed in order for it to count???
Back in the late '80's I worked with a guy who had hunting cabin in Northern Wis. A hunting acquaintance of his, a Wis resident, was busted with a Bald Eagle feather. He got a $10,000 fine.
IIRC the guy was suspected by the Wis DNR of hunting Doe, or maybe Spotlighting(?). In any case they found the Eagle feather in his cabin and that was it for him.
Don’t we have tons of those eagles again? So what if he kills one.
Everyone knows that "indigenous pipples" are just another predator, and we don't judge predators unless they're human (ie, rednecks named Clem). [/sarcasm]
