Cultural appropriation is not just a microaggression; it has *real financial harm* for our communities when we have to compete with artists who claim to be Native but aren't.
Falsely advertising your products as made by a Native artist when they aren't is also illegal under The Indian Arts and Crafts Act (IACA) of 1990 (P.L. 101-644).
If you want to support our communities and art make sure not to buy anything "Native-inspired" from Etsy or any other site.
