Zinke promotes authentic American Indian art and craft
WASHINGTON – Secretary of the
Interior Ryan Zinke recently recorded a
public service announcement highlighting
the importance of purchasing authentic
American Indian and Alaska Native art
and craftwork in accordance with the
Indian Arts and Crafts Act (doi.gov/
iacb/472017-secretary-zinke-promotes-
indian-artists).
Zinke is an adopted member of the
Assiniboine Sioux Tribe of the Fort Peck
Reservation.
“I know that some of our country’s
most skilled artisans are American Indi-
ans and Alaska Natives. Under the Indian
Arts and Crafts Act, it is illegal to sell
any art or craft product in a manner that
falsely suggests it is produced by Ameri-
can Indians or Alaska Natives. Take home
a treasure from Indian Country and please
buy authentic Native American art and
craftwork,” said Zinke.
Harvey Pratt, chairman of the Inte-
rior Department’s Indian Arts and Crafts
Board and master Cheyenne-Arapaho
artist, welcomed Secretary Zinke’s public
service announcement.
“The Indian Arts and Crafts Act is
intended to protect Native American art-
ists and artisans who rely heavily on the
production and sale of traditional and
contemporary art and craftwork to provide
their economic livelihood, preserve their
rich heritage and pass along their unique
culture from generation to generation,”
Pratt explained.
The Indian Arts and Crafts Board pro-
motes the production, sale and protection of
authentic American Indian art and craftwork
through its three museums and exhibi-
tion programs, on-line source directory of
authentic American art businesses, intellec-
tual property rights protection and consumer
education activities and active enforcement
of the Indian Arts and Crafts Act.

and Crafts Board’s website (doi.gov/iacb)
