Ninth Circuit Rules Eagles Case Does Not Infringe Religious Rights
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco ruled that the prosecution of three Indians for selling eagles and eagle feathers did not infringe their religious rights. Charlie Top Sky, Lloyd Top Sky, and Austin Gould of Fort Hall appealed after convictions in Pocatel lo. Top Sky argued the Bald Eagle Protection Act violated his religion and treaty rights, but the court found the eagle parts were sold to non Indians and upheld penalties. Charlie Top Sky fined 50, Lloyd Top Sky three days in jail, Gould 150, all on remaining counts with probation.
