    Im an aztec danzante and this really is an insult to us. We dont hunt the birds for their feathers. The feathers are gathered when the birds start or complete the molten process. the reason these birds are endangered is because of Serious Habitat Loss and are hunted just for the game. These feathers are expensive. They can range from $3.00 to $35.00 depending on the size. Each headress holds over 200 feathers. Our headress is a crown so each feather is like a jewel. The feathers also connect us to our gods the higher or longer the feather the closer to them. We wear our headress when we do ceremonies, funerals or special events. they are a symbol of power, beauty, and cultural significance. So they are not just feathers.

      But you are not Native to America. Native Americans are not in the same category as Aztecs or Mayans.

    This act has been declared as a colonial European illegal law in the US, with confiscating indigenous first nations peoples property in which violates indigenous people right of passage on turtle island. This colonial act has been pressed on our people since 1492, we as indigenous people of turtle island don't need to have no permission to ask, to pay nor to show any qualifications to migrate on our own continent within the illegal laws of our foreign oppressor's and its people.

      I don’t think she was hiding them. I think it’s what she brings all the time. It’s part of a ceremony. Like a cardinal with his robes and staff.

    If pictures of a dead family member are confiscated what makes them think feathers won’t be?
    Pictures of family members are way more personal then some feathers. Not to mention they’re absolutely no use to anyone.
