Under the IACA, it is illegal to offer or display for sale,
or sell, any art or craft product in a manner that suggests
it is Indian produced, an Indian product, or the product of a
particular Indian Tribe. According to the implementing regulations,
use of the terms “American Indian,” “Indian,”
“Native American,” “Alaska Native,” or the names of
particular Indian Tribes such as “Cherokee” in connection with
the sale or display for sale of an art or craft product will be
interpreted to mean that the maker is a member of a federally or
officially State recognized Indian Tribe, a member of the Tribe
named, or is certified by an Indian Tribe of their direct lineal
descent as a non-member Indian artisan, 25 C.F.R.§309.24.

- Thank you, Ken. That is correct. My mother was of the
Comanche Tribe. Her Shaman, Harley Swiftdeer. Annu was gifted many artifacts, including, of course, those of our brethren.
Kindly address the
situation directly, being aware
of the facts. If you, or anyone, would like to speak with me
in person, I'd be happy to accommodate. Meet a new friend.
Be well.
