WEDNESDAY, MAY 15, 2002 A federal-state partnership in Alaska is aimed at combating fake Native art. The public relations campaign hopes to educate consumers about authentic Alaska Native arts and crafts. Fake Alaska Native goods are costing artisans at least $80 million nationwide, according to figures from the 1980s. The campaign is the work of the Federal Trade Commission, the Alaska State Council on the Arts, Indian Arts and Crafts Board of the Department of Interior and the Alaska attorney general's office.
