Indian Jewelry Stores Biography

Source(google.com.pk)
We who are clay blended by the Master Potter, come from the kiln of Creation in many

hues. How can people say one skin is colored, when each has its own coloration? What

should it matter that one bowl is dark and the other pale, if each is of good design and

serves its purpose well."

~Polingaysi Qoyawayma, Hopi ~

Each of our items is handcrafted and designed by Native American Artists unless otherwise noted. We are very proud of the artists our site represents. Unfortunately, the U.S. government has made it very difficult for some Native Americans to call their work true Native American art. The government requires specific permits and I.D.'s and entangles the system with red tape thus making it very difficult for some to register. While most of our artists do have the proper certification, some do not, so below you will find a disclaimer which is required by law for us to post.
DISCLAIMER

In the absence of a specific certification to the contrary, the seller does not warrant or represent that any particular item which is sold or offered for sale herein is an authentic Indian art or craft as defined by the laws of the State of New Mexico, the laws of the United States, or the laws of any other jurisdiction.
