Indian Arts & Crafts Act
"The Indian Arts & Crafts Act (IACA) of 1990 (P.L. 101-644) is a truth-in-advertising law that prohibits misrepresentation in the marketing of Indian art & craft products within the United States."
"Under the IACA, an Indian is defined as a member of any federally or officially State recognized tribe of the United States, or an individual certified as an Indian artisan by an Indian tribe."
25 C.F.R. §309.2(e)(2) as: “Any Indian group that has been formally recognized as an Indian tribe by a State Legislature or by a State commission or similar organization legislatively vested with State tribal recognition
authority. This recognition must have the force of law.” SRTAG represents all Official State Recognized Tribes across 5 regions of the United States. We do not represent tribes, groups or bands that are not considered official.
