  • Receive, evaluate, store and distribute dead bald and golden eagles, parts, and feathers to Native Americans who are enrolled members of federally recognized tribes throughout the United States,
  • Develop and provide educational programs regarding wildlife trade, wildlife laws, endangered species, raptors and the Native American eagle feather program

Non-Eagle Feather Repositories

Liberty Wildlife’s Non-Eagle Feather Repository

Liberty Wildlife, in cooperation with the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, is announcing the establishment of a two-year pilot program called the Non-Eagle Feather Repository. Its goal is to offer Native Americans a permitted source to obtain non-eagle feathers, and other parts, from federally regulated migratory birds. 

Comanche Nation Ethno-Ornithological Initiative

The Repository is operated  by  Sia: The Comanche Nation  Ethno-Ornithological Initiative to provide for the ethical  and   legal  acquisition  and  distribution  of culturally  significant feathers of all species of migratory birds other than eagles.
