United States Indian Arts and Crafts Act

Anyone applying as an Indian artisan must comply with the Indian Arts and Crafts Act of 1990 (P.I. 101-644), which prohibits misrepresentation in marketing of Indian arts and crafts products within the United States. The Indian Arts and Crafts Act of 1990 is a truth-in advertising law. It is illegal to offer or display for sale or to sell any art or craft product in a manner that falsely suggests it is Indian-produced, an Indian product, or the product of a particular Indian tribe. Under the Act:

1. Indian is defined as a member of a state or federally recognized tribe or certified Indian artisan;

2. Certified Indian artisan means an individual who is certified by the governing body of an Indian tribe as a nonmember Indian artisan;

3. Indian product means any art of craft product made by an Indian; and

4. Indian labor makes the Indian art or craft object an Indian product.

Please note the following two definitions of Indian tribe:

1. Any federally recognized Indian tribe, band, nation, Alaska Native village, or organized group or community.

2. Any Indian group that has been formally recognized as an Indian tribe by a state legislature or by a state commission or similar organization legislatively vested with state tribal recognition authority.
