A copy of the waiver and more information regarding the fishing permit may be found below in the Pond section. All State of Oklahoma laws and Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation regulations must be followed.
If you are interested in obtaining eagle parts and/or transporting them, you must apply through the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. You may download the applications for both under the Eagle Parts section below or under Download Forms on the sidebar of this page.
We look forward to assisting you.

Pond
Through Resolution 2018-12 the Tribal Council made it permissible for enrolled tribal members to fish the pond located on campus at 5100 Tuxedo Blvd, Bartlesville, Oklahoma. If you are an enrolled member of the Delaware Tribe and are interested in fishing the pond, the Enrollment Department can issue you a permit. A current Oklahoma or Cherokee Nation fishing license is required. Fishing is allowed from dawn to dusk, and all State of Oklahoma laws and Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation regulations must be followed in addition to the following: No swimming in the pond. No boating on the pond. No wading in the pond. No grilling or fires around the pond, if the State of Oklahoma or local authorities have issued a burn ban.
To obtain a fishing permit for the pond, bring your tribal ID and your current Oklahoma or Cherokee Nation fishing license to the Enrollment Department. After you read and sign a waiver of liability (below or under Download Forms on the sidebar), we will issue you a permit.
Eagle Parts and Feathers
