Yet there are several tribes who are alowed to kill protected animals for spiritual purposes. “Do as I say, not as I do.
One of the Southwestern tribes are allowed to trap immature golden eagles which are then ritually washed & tethered to the roof of their hogan for a certain time period as “watchers” over the sons in the family. These eagles are then ritually smothered to death to go be at one with the Great Spirit for eternity.
Nice work, but not for the eagle. “Eagles for me, but not for thee” means long jail time when the BLM thugs find a paleface in possession of so much as a single eagle feather.
Eagle deaths due to wind farms need to be protested, but not by Indians who slaughter eagles. That’s rank hypocrisy, IMO.
