Following a two-year undercover investigation, Alberta Fish and Wildlife has charged two members of the Stoney Nakoda Nation with wildlife trafficking. After a raid on her home on Jan. 27, Terry Daniels was charged with two counts of trafficking and one count for the purpose of trafficking. Her brother Harlon Daniels faces one count of possession for the purpose of trafficking. Three other Albertans and a St. Paul business were also charged in an investigation that began when a man approached Terry Daniels at a pow-wow asking to buy eagle feathers. Fish and Wildlife officials seized several items including ceremonial headdresses and powwow regalia. "They took everything that had eagle feathers," Terry Daniels told the Cochrane Eagle. Many of the seized items were sacred and had been passed down through the generations. Alberta Fish and Wildlife spokesman, Darcy Whiteside, said the items will be returned if unrelated to the trafficking charges. Legal possession of eagle parts is allowed, said Whiteside. Selling these parts, however, is illegal and there can also be illegal possession. Finding stray feathers is legal, but plucking a feather from a carcass is deemed illegal. Terry Daniels said the feathers are traded and rarely sold. The accused parties will appear in court on various dates in March in St. Paul, Cochrane and Red Deer. The maximum penalty for wildlife trafficking is a $100,000 fine and two years in jail.
