SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) _ A man and a woman have been sentenced
in federal court in South Dakota for illegally trafficking in
feathers from federally protected eagles.
Thirty-eight-year-old Shane Red Hawk was sentenced to a month
behind bars and a year on supervised release. Forty-one-year-old
Noella Red Hawk got a year of probation.
U.S. Attorney Brendan Johnson says the Red Hawks in September
2009 illegally sold an eagle feather fan and dance bustles with
eagle feathers, and that Shane Red Hawk also sold eagle and hawk
feathers the following month. The two Mission residents pleaded
guilty last October.
