Although the Eagle feather law article uses the generic term "eagle" throughout, just a quick look at the summaries of the laws refered to suggests that it is only feathers of bald eagles and golden eagles, which is restricted - not feathers of the other species of eagles which is restricted. Does anyone happen to know if there are restrictions on possession of the feathers of other species of eagles, and if so what the source of that restriction is? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.203.62.4 ( talk • contribs) 22:24, 31 October 2006
One interpretation of the Biblical statement that "Where the Eagles gather, there the Body will be" is that location of a gathering of Eagles is the location of the 2nd Coming of Christ. Ref. Mathew 24: 38 & Luke 17: 37
Can citizens possess eagle feathers obtained at this most HOLY location ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.247.22.112 ( talk • contribs) 14:44, 26 December 2006
The statement is made: "The eagle feather may play a comparable role to Native American religions as the crucifix plays to the Christian religion or the Koran to the Islamic religion."
Unfortunately, this is not totally accurate. Catholics hold the crucifix as significant, but many other Christians, such as Protestants, would reject such a blanket statement. The reverance toward the Koran in Islam is mentioned, but not the similar reverance toward the Bible by Christians. Comparing a book with a feather is not too helpful. Eliminating this statement.

While the statement that the feathers play a comparable role may not be accurate, the author might have been getting at something more general that is accurate, namely that eagle feathers have been compared to christian objects like the bible and crucifix. The comparison is not made in reference to their role (e.g. one does not literally "read" an eagle feather), but rather the centrality and importance of the feathers within indigenous customs and ways of life.
Many Native American people would and have compared eagle feathers with the Bible and crucifix. It is great to speak to other Native people to confirm this, but for online references of eagle feathers being compared to christian religious objects, see following articles for quick examples:

It seems to me that this article has a lot of internal redundancy. Everything should be condensed and reorganized into separate coherent arguments —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.92.67.132 ( talk) 00:55, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
Agreed. I will post a template regarding this issue. (I am not particularly knowledgable about the content of this article, so it would be better if another editor worked on fixing that problem.) Thanks.

Please make a Talk page: Questions: 1)Eagles moult their feathers as do other birds. If you find a moulted eagle feather on the ground in the woods, are you supposed to leave it there to decompose, turn it in to Native American authorities, or can you keep it? 2)If you find a large feather and you did not know that it was an eagle feather so you kept it, are you still prosecuted? 3)There are eagle species in the world other than Bald eagles and American Golden eagles. If you have a feather of an African or European bird, does it fall under the same law?
I did not write this... these were questions presented by someone else on the article itself. I am merely moving them here. Wolfpeaceful ( talk) 17:33, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
I cleaned up the introduction. It had way too many details such as:
- what documents you needed to have in order to be a verified Native American - where to go to get verified - blood quantum % needed - specific law references - couple more
The introduction repeated itself several times as well. Making it rather hard and annoying to read :). I then proceeded to deleting the whole "Constitutionality" section because Native Americans have many legal exceptions. Such as not having to pay taxes, having their own criminal court, special laws apply to their land, special rights, and many more. This, the eagle feather law, is amongst the exceptions that they, you could say, "enjoy". It's just the way it is. They have been on this land, North America, thousands of years before any of us immigrants were.
I also deleted the "References" section simply because it looked messy and took up about half of the page. It can still be found, should there be any need. To properly "ref" something, you do <re >url< /rf>-- Rmhs15 ( talk) 00:23, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
