"I've had Navajos approach me and offer to trade me a whole bald eagle for 50 scissortail feathers," he said. "They use them to make fans they use in the Native American Church."
According to Anquoe, some American Indians have had eagle feathers taken away from them by federal agents who attended powwows just for that purpose: to bust illegal feather owners.
"There's a lot of misunderstanding about the eagle
feather laws," Anquoe said. "A lot of people think you just have to
have a CDIB card to have them, but you have to go through the whole application
process."
