Indian Arts and Crafts Disclosure

Indian Arts and Crafts Act Disclosure

Mermery Designs operates in compliance with the Indian Arts and Crafts Act of 1990, a federal law that protects Native American artists and consumers from misrepresentation. Under this law:

• Only enrolled members of federally or state-recognized tribes, or certified Native artisans, may market their work as “Native American” or “Indian made.”

• All Mermery Designs pieces identified as Native-made are designed by a Federally recognized California Native artist and reflect culturally significant traditions and original design. 

• Misrepresentation of Native identity or cultural art is a violation of federal law and subject to penalties.

We value authenticity, respect, and cultural integrity in every design.
