Native peoples had been economically harmed by the sales of arts that have been misrepresented as “Indian made.” Under the terms of this law, imitation goods must be represented truthfully; artists must be tribally enrolled in a federally recognized tribe, nation, or village; and imports require accurate labeling. The Indian arts and crafts marketplace is a large and influential industry in North America today. Many Native fine artists are also receiving attention for their work, independent of their indigenous origins. All Roads are Good: Native Voices
