Robert Soto is an American Indian pastor, religious leader, Tribal Council vice chairman, feather dancer, and activist of Lipan Apache descent. He is a member of the Lipan Apache Tribe (also known as the Lipan Apache Tribe of Texas) and serves as the tribal nation's Council vice chairman. He is best known for a series of successful legal challenges to oppose laws that have both restricted and criminalized eagle feather possession by Native Americans. The basis for his position is that possession of eagle feathers is an expression of Native American religious freedom.
