The National Eagle Repository
The National Eagle Repository was established
in 1974 to provide Bald and Golden Eagle carcasses and
feathers to Native Americans throughout the United States.
These eagles are for use in traditional, cultural and
religious ceremonial activities. In addition, various
hawks and other migratory birds are collected at the
repository and requested for this purpose.
Anyone requesting an eagle or feathers must register
with the repository and provide proof of membership
in a tribe. The repository currently maintains over
4,000 individuals on a waiting list for these birds
with a wait of approximately 2 1/2 years due to a limited
supply of birds.
