Yea, my aunt almost got into trouble for collecting eagle feathers in her back yard, but if you're a native American I believe it is legal.
You should ask around and try to find out if there are any areas where eagles commonly hunt or hang out. You'd likely have luck getting feathers there.

Maybe you should consider a different kind of feather for your ceremonies. Many of the Native American tribes of Oklahoma (where I was born and raised) now use wild turkey feathers for simple ceremonies which formerly were performed with eagle feathers.

The Bald Eagle Protection Act prohibits the take, transport, sale, barter, trade, import and export, and possession of eagles, making it illegal for anyone to collect eagles and eagle parts, nests, or eggs without a permit. Possession of a feather or other body parts of a bald eagle is a felony with a fine of up to $10,000 and/or imprisonment, although federally recognized Native Americans are able to possess these emblems which are traditional in their culture. Bald eagles are still listed as "threatened" in the United States.
Good luck in your search.

Don't you need special permission to collect these?
