The Bald Eagle is a sacred bird in some North American cultures, and its feathers, like those of the Golden Eagle, are central to many religious and spiritual customs among Native Americans. Eagles are considered spiritual messengers between gods and humans by some cultures. Many pow wow dancers use the eagle claw as part of their regalia as well. Eagle feathers are often used in traditional ceremonies, particularly in the construction of regalia worn and as a part of fans, bustles and head dresses. The Lakota, for instance, give an eagle feather as a symbol of honor to person who achieves a task. In modern times, it may be given on an event such as a graduation from college. The Pawnee considered eagles as symbols of fertility because their nests are built high off the ground and because they fiercely protect their young. The Kwakwaka'wakw scattered eagle down to welcome important guests. The Choctaw explained that the Bald Eagle, who has direct contact with the upper world of the sun, is a symbol of peace.

During the Sun Dance, which is practiced by many Plains Indian tribes, the eagle is represented in several ways. The eagle nest is represented by the fork of the lodge where the dance is held. A whistle made from the wing bone of an eagle is used during the course of the dance. Also during the dance, a medicine man may direct his fan, which is made of eagle feathers, to people who seek to be healed. The medicine man touches the fan to the center pole and then to the patient, in order to transmit power from the pole to the patient. The fan is then held up toward the sky, so that the eagle may carry the prayers for the sick to the Creator.

Current eagle feather law stipulates that only individuals of certifiable Native American ancestry enrolled in a federally recognized tribe are legally authorized to obtain Bald or Golden Eagle feathers for religious or spiritual use. The constitutionality of these laws has been questioned by Native American groups on the basis that it violates the First Amendment by affecting ability to practice their religion freely. Additionally, only members of federally recognized tribes are legally allowed to possess eagle feathers, preventing non-federally recognized tribe members from practicing religion freely. The laws have also been criticized on grounds of racial preferences and infringements on tribal sovereignty.

I don't get it. A classic case of what? And from what, are we all in danger?

[eaglenest1972]

Classic Case is the name of the group who sings "All Of Us Are In Danger"... and we r as the world is pretty unsettled and all of us r going to go through a "Bumpy Ride" for some time... the economy... politics... foreign and domestic policy... and a long etc... still i think there is light at the end of the tunnel! =]

I see some evidence that we might advance towards a better future, I hope a future where we clean up the mess we've made and are making and bring some balance back into the world. But I also see many ways in which we seem determined to effectively destroy ourselves. Personal greed must be high on that list. With the restriction of ddt the eagle seems to have recovered somewhat. In my area they seem quite common but I don't know what their historical numbers were. Ahh... hope and fear.

[eaglenest1972]

pretty much! as they say, upwards and forwads! =]

[eaglenest1972]
