Indian Arts and Crafts Act of 1990:
This website does not imply
or suggest that items for sale on this website are hand made by
a person or persons who are members of a federally recognized
tribe, unless otherwise indicated in writing and clearly
identified next to the item displayed. You are advised to first assume all items
displayed for sale on this website are not made by a member of a
federally recognized tribe. The list of items specifically made by
persons who are members of a federally recognized tribe has been
deleted to avoid consumer confusion -- and pages displaying
non-manufactured, handcrafted arts and crafts contain a notice
regarding the origin of items displayed on that page.
Items such as books, cd's, dvd's, t shirts, ceremonial items,
clothing and regalia, drums, flutes, flags, furs/hides, gifts,
home decor, greeting cards, healing clay, herbal medicine,
herbal tea, jewelry, soap nuts, teepees, videos, and women's
gifts are not hand made by a members or members of a federally
recognized tribe. In some cases, a supplier company may be
owned by an American Indian who is a member of a federally
recognized tribe, but the item by its nature (books, t-shirts,
etc.) are not classified as an art or craft and therefore are
not identified as being made by a person who is a member of a
federally recognized tribe.
