Our Sourcing Standards

Documented, or not shown.

Draft standards — pending the owner's final policy text.

1. 1Each work names its individual artist, with the artist's permission to be named and pictured.
2. 2Nation or community affiliation is shown only as the artist states it, and only where documentation exists.
3. 3Works are offered in line with the Indian Arts and Crafts Act of 1990; nothing is called “Native American made” without documentation.
4. 4Materials, techniques, and stone treatments are disclosed on every listing.
5. 5Ceremonial, sacred, and restricted items are never offered for sale.
6. 6Eagle feathers, and objects containing them, are never offered for sale. Other protected wildlife materials and sensitive historic objects require specialist review before listing.
7. 7We do not describe works as “fair trade,” “tribally certified,” or “community approved” unless documented evidence supports it.
8. 8We never invent the meaning of a color, pattern, feather, stone, or object. Where no interpretation has been supplied, none is shown.
9. 9Western-inspired merchandise elsewhere in the store is labeled as such and kept separate from this collection.
10. 10Educational examples are marked “not for sale” and never carry a purchase button.
