[QUOTE="Taupou, post: 299749, member: 45"]I think those comments you are concerned about, are a reaction to your post "In New Hampshire. We actually have quite a few Indian reservations." As has been pointed out, there [U]are no[/U] Indian reservations in New Hampshire. And because there also are no federally-recognized tribes, any art or craft item made by New Hampshire people who self-identify as Indian, cannot legally be sold as Indian or Native American. That may seem unfair to some, but it is federal law. Laws can be changed, and there are provisions for tribes to become federally-recognized if they meet certain requirements. But in the meantime, the Indian Arts and Crafts Act of 1990 is the applicable law. All of which has nothing to do with the item in question, which is [U]not Indian[/U], federally-recognized or otherwise.[/QUOTE]
