The American Indian Store attempts to sell quality, authentic
Native American products as defined by The Indian Arts and Crafts Act
of 1990. Some of the merchandise is exclusive to The American Indian store.
We will not knowingly sell American Indian “looking” merchandise
which is made by non-Native Americans or is imported.
Most of the merchandise is handmade by talented Native
American artists in the southwest and for that reason, may vary slightly
from the
individual picture. Because this merchandise is handmade by these American
Indian artists, most of the quantities are very limited and in some
cases
an item may be the only one of that particular style. Although the American
Indian store is using a high quality Web store, their may be occasions
where the particular item is not available. Although we expect this to
be minimal, we will notify you as soon as possible that the item is
either
unavailable, when it may become available or suggest what we believe
to be a suitable replacement.
In
the case of the Futures for Children logo merchandise, most of it is made
here in the southwest and we always attempt to deal with Native American
artists where possible. When this is not feasible we will attempt to deal
with companies that employ American Indians and/or that are sensitive
to the goals of Futures for Children and to the education of American
Indian children, as well as the betterment of the American Indian community.
Please take extreme care when opening or unpacking your
purchase from the American
Indian Store and make sure that the placement of such items is such
that it will remain undamaged.
Our ultimate goal is to provide you with a quality Native
American Indian made product which will give many years of enjoyment and
will reflect the effort and commitment of the artist. As stated throughout
The
American Indian Store, many criteria may be used for the selection
of a particular item; however the ultimate criteria should be the enjoyment
of the user. The Native American artists are renowned for the quality
of their work as well as the commitment and devotion placed into the work.
It is our hope that the person who owns the work will share in their appreciation
of the effort and results.
