USFWS Video on Importance of Eagles to American Indians

Here. From the description:

Reginald Dale Akeen pleaded guilty in December 2009 to a felony violation of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. He admitted he offered to sell a fan made of juvenile golden eagle feathers, also known as “black and whites,” to a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service undercover agent and that he contacted an accomplice who agreed to sell a nine-feather black and white fan. As part of his plea agreement, Akeen agreed to speak on video about the significance of the feathers of eagles and other birds to Native Americans and about the fact that he broke the law.

    And why is the US Government “parading” this and dangling yet another Native American in front of the world to see? Why don’t they ever dangle these non-Natives that have been illegally shooting birds and animals by the hundreds every day in front of the world? Why is it ALWAYS just Native Americans?
