Judge keeps limit on Hopis' eagle gathering 3- A federal judge in Phoenix has refused to lift his cap on the number of golden eagles that Hopis may gather from the surrounding Navajo Reservation.

I U.S. District Judge Earl Carroll ruled Monday that his order barring Hopis from taking more than 12 golden eagles on Navajo land will stand. The annual eagle gathering is a key element in the tribe's long-standing religious beliefs and ceremonies. The Hopis have a permit from the U.S. t-ish and Wildlife Service to capture golden eagles and red-tailed hawks for their religious ceremonies.

The permit allows the Hopis to collect an unlimited number of birds anywhere in northeastern Arizona. The Navajo Nation, however, says the matter still is subject to its regulations, which require that the Hopis obtain permits in adance of taking the birds and that the Hopis report where the birds were captured.
