Ordering Eagle Parts and Feathers
from the National Eagle Repository
F
or hundreds of years, Native Americans have used eagle parts and feathers for religious and
cultural purposes, including healing, marriage, and naming ceremonies. Recognizing the
significance of eagles to Native Americans, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service)
established the National Eagle Repository (Repository) in the early 1970s to provide Native
Americans with the carcasses, parts and feathers of golden and bald eagles for religious purposes.
Who may obtain eagle carcasses, parts, and feathers from the Repository?
Only enrolled members of federally recognized tribes may apply to receive and possess eagle
carcasses, parts, and feathers from the Repository for religious purposes.
How do I apply for these items from the Repository?
To apply for an eagle carcass or parts or feathers from the Repository for the first time, you must
submit a Permit Application & First Order request, and a Certificate of Enrollment in a Federally
Recognized Tribe (Form 3-200-15A) to the Regional Migratory Bird Permit Office responsible
for the State in which you live. The Permit Office will process your permit application and, if
approved, issue you a permit to possess for religious purposes eagle carcasses or parts (including
feathers) provided by the Repository. The Permit Office will simultaneously transmit your First
Order to the Repository for filling. If you wish to order additional carcasses or parts at a later
time, you must submit a Re-order Request (Form 3-200-15B) directly to the Repository.
Did the permit process change recently?
Yes, the Service recently streamlined the permitting process for eagle carcasses and parts.
Previously, a first-time applicant submitted a permit application and shipping request to his/her
Regional Migratory Bird Permit Office and the Permit Office transmitted the order to the
Repository. The applicant did not receive his/her permit until after receiving the shipment and
mailing back a signed Acknowledgement of Receipt to the Permit Office. Each subsequent
shipping order was sent to the Permit Office to be forwarded to the Repository. The permit was
amended when the Permit Office received the signed Acknowledgement of Receipt for the re-
order.
Now, the Permit Office will process only the initial permit application and, if approved, issue the
permit right away. The permit will authorize the applicant to possess eagle carcasses and parts
provided by the Repository and will be the only permit needed, regardless of the number of
requests filled by the Repository. The Permit Office will then forward the first order to the
Repository for filling. An applicant will not have to send an Acknowledgement of Receipt to the
Permit Office in order to get their permit. Permit holders will send any subsequent Re-Order
