I applaud the "white society" for allowing this to happen. If the" white people" had followed the laws of nature as the Native Americans have since their existence the Bald Eagle, the Plains Buffalo, and numerous other birds, animals, and plants would never have been forced to extinction or near extinction.

Two birds a year will not cause the birds to become extinct and proof of that is the fact that the Bald Eagle was very plentiful BEFORE the whites arrived.The Bald Eagle is neither threatened nor on the verge of extinction, it is protected as an American icon - a symbol of America. Yet we become upset because the Native Peoples who were here long before us want to use them in religious ceremonies. These same people have such respect for all nature provides them that they would never have decimated the earth the way it has been by us invaders. They give thanks for all nature provides and replenish when they can, they use every scrap of fur, feathers, bone in their daily lives, yet we are going to begrudge them 2 eagles a year because they won't eat it. The reason they won't eat it is because it is a part of the Creator and no man is equal to the Creator, by killing it the spirit of the Creator is free to fly free and watch over all, guiding, protecting.
