I have some friends in Israel who are crazy about Native american crafts. Can you reommend a good source?
They want beaded necklaces, etc..
Israeli customs wont allow knives or anything, but other stuff is fine.

Bruise gave you the link I would have, but all they have is mostly just the materials. If they're wanting finished projects then I don't know.
There's lots of Native American Craft's for sale online but notice I said, "Native American" instead of ndn.:mad:
I don't have problems with people selling ndn crafts if they're not enrolled just as long as there's a disclaimer that states something like, "Made by a person of ndn descent but not enrolled in any federally recognized tribe." Doing so keeps people honest.;)
That's the way I have to sell anything I make because I'm not enrolled.
There are many reasons for enrolling, but there are also many reasons for Not enrolling.:footinmou
 
My friend Johnny D. and his wife's brother-in-law used to have a business carving rocks into little figures of animals. They polished them really nice, tied beads and feathers on them, made up some mythical sounding stories to go with them, and sold them at Yuppie Nature Stores as "Authentic Native American Art".

They would sign them with some indian sounding name, like Carlos White Eagle, or something like that, and they would get write-ups and reviews telling all about the beautiful, traditional, pieces by Mr. White Eagle.

I think they went out of business when somebody found out the only tribe they ever belonged to was the Mafia.
