Indian Arts & Crafts Act of 1990

The sale of Craft items needs to be clarified in regards to the Indian Arts & Crafts Act 1990:

#309.9 When can non-Indians make and sell products in the stlye of Indian arts and crafts?

"A non-Indian can make and sell products in the stlye of Indian art or craft products only if the non-Indian or other seller does not falsely suggest to consumers that the products have been made by an Indian".

Non-Indian or Indians who are not "Indian artisans" may sell items that are not labeled or must use the word "style." For example, an item may be labeled "Sioux style moccasins" or not labeled as to who made them.
