Native American police honored slain

officer’s that were killed Aug. 2 during a shootout with a ceremony of putting

eagle feathers in their caskets.

I was not blessed to make this ceremony

however, one can only pray that it was a Native American Soaugi (Funeral), and

every traditional tribe sent at least one representative.

The point to this article should be that

two Native American police hero’s were putting their lives on the line and were

shot dead while doing that job!

Yes, an eagle feather is a high honor

given to a native American by another.

I also believe that the presentation of

the eagle feathers to the fallen police officers was in fact a nice and

necessary gesture of respect.

The federal law is designed to prevent the

needless killing of eagles, not keep any of the Native American community from

expressing its respect to their own.

The Black Hills Sioux Nation Treaty

Council needs to take the plastic card, you know the one, given to them by

their conquering government, burn it in your alter fire,

get back into a sweat lodge talking to Creator and your ancestor, stay there

until you find the truth in Creators words.

A Native American is a Native American!

It is about time that the federal

government caught up with the times and revamped this misguided law, all Native

Americans are Native Americans!
