If you are going to pursue the making and wearing of artifacts and clothing of the Native Americans you need to be aware that it is AGAINST THE LAW, both Federal and State, to have in your POSSESSION (much less to sell or trade) in illegal feathers or endangered species. It is also against National OA and BSA policy to have or use any such feathers or parts of endangered species at any BSA or OA event, including Lodge, Section, Region and National events such as Conclaves Fellowships and NOAC.
The Federal law makes it a FELONY to possess illegally protected bird feathers (or other parts such as claws, heads, etc.) Violations of the Migratory Bird Act (Covers Hawks, Owls, swans, geese, buzzards, bluejay, etc.) can result in fines up to $2,000 and 2 years in prison. Violations of the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act carries a $5,000 fine and one year in prison for a first offense(doubles for second offense). Violations of the Endangered Species Act carries a maximum penalty of $20,000 and one year in Prison. Besides these Federal punishments you can also be punished in State Courts for the SAME violations with similar penalties. If you are transporting illegal feathers in your auto, it can be seized by the government, like in drug cases. Transporting across state lines in another offense separate from the possession. If you are convicted of a FELONY, there are other consequences: You probably won't be able to join the Armed Forces, be a teacher or public employee, hold public office, own a firearm, be an Attorney, etc. IT IS A SERIOUS MATTER, so you must learn about the LAW so as not to violate it.

yeah Eagle feathers are illegal to have, and I bet there would be a bunch of people who would get pissed off over it. I think it would be a huge fiasco if the wrong person saw you with em, good luck though;)

What did he have to do with it, Pris? I am ignorant on that point.
I'm looking for my photo of my feather but I can't seem to find it.
Still looking...

I've read online somewhere that if your Achilles tendon is severed a bald eagle tail feather grows out of the wound in 3 days!
I wouldn't try it, but based on your desperation you may have another idea.

Cool story.
All I wanted was one. I used to live with Balds and Goldens out West but I never even saw a feather. Then, I moved East and saw a Bald make her nest and fledge her babies. It was high in a Sycamore tree across from a ridge that was 100 feet up.
One day the wind blew just right and there on the trail in front of me was a single perfect Eagle feather. I was like
I took pictures of it but I have searched high and low today to find them. All I can think is that they are on a picture CD. If I ever find them I will post them in this thread. Promise.
Good luck finding that feather. Just don't go bragging it around. Getting busted over the Endangered Species act or whatever they would charge you with isn't any fun.

No, I took it home and put it in a safe place.
Later I felt guilty so I took it back. I took the pictures before I got rid of it.
I know it sounds weird but I think that feather came to me. I had been wanting one for a long time.
Some one said Balds aren't endangered anymore. I don't know about it though. Maybe just a rumor.
