Shaman charged for possession of feathers
Posted by: Honey on Tuesday, March 22, 2005 - 01:01 PM
An Ogden medicine man is facing four federal misdemeanor charges for possessing bald eagle, red-tailed hawk and horned owl feathers without a permit, as well as unlawfully importing a jaguar skull. Weber County deputies found the feathers and skull in Nicholas Walter Stark's home in July 2000, while they were conducting a search for peyote, according to the government's statement of probable cause. Stark told authorities he is one-quarter Iroquois, but did not have a tribal card.
On Oct. 14, 2004, Stark called a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service special agent and inquired about the return of his property. During the conversation, he told the agent he used the feathers during his ceremonies and work as a shaman, and that he was not a registered tribe member.

Another shining example of if you belong to " the club" or "a club" then you're just a good ole boy! But don't you dare to be an individule or belong to an "outside" group. Ain't it great?

The article says:Weber County deputies found the feathers and skull in Nicholas Walter Stark's home in July 2000, while they were conducting a search for peyote, according to the government's statement of probable cause. However later in the article it says:But state prosecutors dropped the charges in October in light of a June 2004 Utah Supreme Court decision that says members of the Native American Church can use the hallucinogenic cactus. 4 years later they press charges for having a some feathers? Sounds a lot like sour grapes because they couldn't prosecute a guy for having a cactus.

In Canada, we can have all the feathers and 'sacred items/tools' we want or need for cereomonial purposes AND we can transport our bundles into the US with only the regular minimum hassle BUT we cannot, under any circumstances, cultivate, possess or use peyote. Even 'Road Men' from the Native American Church are prohibited from using peyote buttons/tea during ceremonies...freedom to practice religion - sure, as long as it does not violate Christian and/or criminal codes. In Canada, there is a 'peyote substitute' that is worthy of a thread in the forums.
