a particular Indian or Indian tribe or Indian arts and crafts organization,
resident within the United Sates.” If a Native American Indian makes the items you sell, make sure you have the paperwork to prove it. If a Non-Native American makes your items, some statement to that effect must be displayed and attached to each item. Protect
yourself, become familiar with Public Law 101-644. The intent of the above statement is only to make you aware
