that reminds me of The Stand (by Stephen King)avianscepter wrote:Hey Cody, have you tried to pursue any headdress rights since you are far into native spirituality? I will never touch that stuff because I love eating pizza so much. Oh Cody, look into norse and celtic spirituality so may notice some matches to native ones in America.
also hello from Nevada.
It's a slippery legal slope, federal migratory bird laws seems to be the shady area of the law. I personally don't have and or need a headdress per say; but the possessing of feathers and "other" religious sacraments seems to be generally ok As long as one has a CDIB card. I've personally never had any trouble out of the authorities but the old saying go's "I can beat the rap, but not the ride".
By applying for a federal permit to own migratory bird feathers, one could sleep easy at night. I haven't the need mainly because I don't have a house full of feathers. A few Feathers for personal religious purposes is all the CDIB covers. Buying and selling feathers is the big no no..
I've only been questioned once by a Texas parks and wildlife official, he was cool with it. But perhaps that's not the case for all. I've heard stories of people getting the book thrown at them, but "my papers" are in order so it would come down to a courts decision-- if I ever get the free ride..
