We receive a lot of questions about how to
go about selling pieces of people's Native American art. Most of the time
it isn't as simple as you think, but it can be rewarding. We have
some sage "tips" for you if you just read this.
Know The Law Regarding
Indian Arts and Crafts, and the Indian Arts and Crafts Board.
Before buying Indian arts or
crafts at powwows, annual fairs, juried competitions, and other events,
check the event requirements on the authenticity of products being offered
for sale. Many events list the requirements in newspaper advertisements,
promotional flyers, and printed programs. If the event organizers make no
statements on compliance with the Act or on the authenticity of Indian
arts and crafts offered by participating vendors, you should obtain
written certification from the individual vendors that their Indian arts
or craftwork were produced by tribal members or by certified Indian
artisans.
