H.R. 6021

Archie Cavanaugh Migratory Bird Treaty Clarification Act

Natural Resources Committee · Rep. Nicholas Begich (R-AK)

27 August 2026 | Reported by committee (Natural Resources, as amended, H. Rept. 119-774)

What's next: Floor scheduling (leadership decides if and when it gets a vote)

Summary: The bill would clarify that Alaska Native crafts, clothing, and artwork containing parts from migratory birds—such as feathers—are permitted to be made, owned, bought, and sold, as long as the birds were not taken illegally or wastefully. It would also direct the State and Interior departments to work with other countries that share migratory bird treaties with the United States to align their rules on how these traditional Alaska Native items are treated.
