Sourcing ethical Native art and jewelry dealers
A merchant who sells works by Native artists is under fire for derogatory and offensive comments to Native dancers outside his shop in Scottsdale, Arizona

The incident revives long-standing concerns about non-Native opportunists exploiting the richness of Native talent.

Thursday on Native America Calling, we discuss ways to ensure you patronize establishments that treat Native artists and craftspeople respectfully and ethically.

Buy directly from Zuni artists at the ARTZ Cooperative Gallery in the Pueblo of Zuni in New Mexico.
