Turtle Island Traders would be little without all of our craftspeople, Native and Non-Native alike. We are ALL equal in the eyes of the Creator. But the man or women that works with their hands to create are indeed blessed. To all our artists, as always, Thank You

The term Native Amercian made is a legal definition that means the artist is a card carrying member of a Federally recognized tribe. If we state either on the piece of artwork, or in the profile of the artist, that the person is Native, then we hold a copy of their paperwork in our files.
However, many of our fine artists are either Native American Heritage (have a distinct Native blood lineage) or are Non Native, Native American Inspired artisans. We welcome all artists equally regardless of race. That seems to us to be the same way the Creator does it. If this doesn't work for you too, then we suggest take the matter up with that higher resource.
