ross patterson. and ian livingstone, the chief constable of police scotland. behind them, you see the royal company of archers in their balmoral bonnets and eagle feathers. a rather splendid site there. looked after by their captain general, who is also gold stick for scotland, as ever on hand to greet the sovereign. now, the keys will be presented on a velvet cushion to the king by the
religious freedom acts. it should be part of the individual freedom. part of being an earn in. that s what i think, but i m losing this battle because religion is constantly under threat. in texas, the apache tribe celebrated by conducting this ceremony, it includes wearing feathers including eagle feathers then the government raid one of their powwows and the pastor was threatened to be arrested. the government took the feathers and threatened the pastor because he didn t have a permit for the eagle feathers. the pastor joins us now. really? 15 years. ma s what i was told. and so you could fight them but it would bankrupt the tribe, i assume, but beckett took your case for nothing. right. and what happened? agents came into pastor
document what everybody was wearing. why do they care so much? it s not like the eagle is in danger. it goes back to our spirituality. however controls the spirit controls the person. they want to hurt you by taking your feathers? the unfair law to govern not just our spirituality, but everything as a native people. after nine years of litigation the government finally returned the confiscated eagle feathers. a government official pompously read the list of evidence he was returning box with 44 eagle feathers with their dwilquills wrapped in navy blue. so a bitter ending? a bittersweet. seeing them for nine years having been locked up in a box.
we got these eagle feathers were all these restrictions. i m the only one who can use these feathers, no nobody can borrow them. i have to carry a permit that says i have permission to carry these feathers. when i die, for example, nobody can inherit these feathers. sob s going to be knocking the door and taking them back to the government do you ever think that our government has become power mad and almost insane? absolutely. the government has grown beyond its reach and is infringing on the religious liberty of all groups, including american indians. thank you robert and christina. to join this discussion follow me on twitter at fbn stossel and use the #religion. coming up america is unique in that the founders created the first free market in religion. how s that worked out?
