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.

“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
Don't bet on it.
In anticipation of the North American Union,
I officially seceded from the USA.
My land within the borders of the United States is now officially recognized by the United Nations
as the "Grand Duchy of Earl"
Yes, I am the Duke of Earl.
Just so everyone understands, it’s OK for a Moslem to behead his sister in an honor killing, but let this guy smoke a bird....
That’s it — E Pluribus Unum and all. Otherwise we’ll have to honor Muzzie traditions that include — washing feet anywhere they want to; headscarves; muzzeins; chopping heads; blowing up folks for Allah, etc.
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???
And I am Baron of Graymatter.
Yeah, and it seems to be working on all these sheeple...
It's amazing that indians carry out ancient traditional beliefs with modern European technology and expect to be believed as sincere. Thow him in jail
Oedipus, is that you?
No. I’m not Nadine either.
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.
Damn! Do I have to quit calling you Ricky, now, your Grace?
Yes. The bald eagle was removed from the list of endangered and threatened wildlife last year. There's no justification for jailing this guy.
