Archie Cavanaugh Migratory Bird Treaty Clarification Act
The Archie Cavanaugh Migratory Bird Treaty Clarification Act aims to amend the Migratory Bird Treaty Act to allow authentic Alaska Native handicrafts containing nonedible migratory bird parts. It provides definitions and limitations to ensure these crafts are made traditionally and not from wastefully or illegally obtained bird parts. The bill requires coordination with international treaty partners and regulatory updates.
