I report violations of the #IndianArtsAndCraftsAct on #Etsy and #ebay. Thing is, some of the worst offenders belong to #FakeTribes that have managed to swing State recognition. The retailers, & the ⚪️s who buy from the #pretendian sellers, either don't understand, or don't care.
So when they display their "enrollment" info... look up the "tribe" they claim. If they even name it. Some just say "Cherokee" or worse, "Cherokee descent". Ask for the specific tribe and look it up. Some state-recognized are real, but many are not. #IndianArtsAndCraftsAct #Fraud
It's no coincidence that ⚪️ people give tons of money to other ⚪️people who are playing Indian and selling fake Native bling, regalia, even fake medicines. These #pretendians make way more money at this than real #Natives. Just read their reviews & see who writes them. #Racism
