 Aaron
Gonzales, tribal member of the San Ildefonso Pueblo
Indian Reservation, has asked Crow Busters members to
donate crow feathers to the tribe for use in making
ceremonial outfits used in tribal rituals and dances. The
San Ildefonso reservation is located in North Central New
Mexico where it is illegal to hunt the common crow or
raven. Mr. Gonzales says, "there
are a lot of different ways that we can use crow feathers,
most of which are sacred to us. We also use many other
bird feathers like duck, geese, quail and turkey. We especially
need the turkey feathers!".
If you wish to donate any
bird feathers to the reservation, make sure that they are
dry (throw a few moth balls in the package if possible)
and send them to:
