Siyo ya'll,
I remember the feather busts of the 70's, when ATF, DEA and US Marshalls walked around the Arena's with they're informant. In all cases they would bust the people and try and get them to roll-over on the others to get imformants. Just for wearing Eagle feathers we were hunted and why, the Government wanted to hit the NDN's back for wounded Knee and the other occupation's going on at the time.
I to was amoung the group but I told them they would have to prove beyond a shadow of any doubt I was non NDN. I even remember one event they tried to bust a cousin for a perfect matched pair of feathers made from Flaming Orange contact paper. Today I have not noticed times like the past and I wear my feathers in public with Honor. If you try and get feathers from the Eagle repository in CO. you are placed on a list {first come first served} to recieve feathers. NDN or non NDN makes no difference of your status to get feathers, this is sad.

I have to agree with Sister Kangi I also know one's who follow NDN religion for the trips they can get. The most part it needs to stay NDN only for the ones who truely follow not to be a fad or trip route. It is good you visit family in prisions, and it would be good if they let you hold Sweats and Church for them. The sad truth is Mainstream is not ready for our religion nor will they ever be we have endured more than any other religion in history.
I carry my pipe some feathers and even my bundle and have had little trouble over the past few years, nothing like the 70's.
I'll get off the crate now after I have put all ya'll asleep. UG (Fred McCall)
