Abstract

    The Source Directory of American Indian and Alaska Native owned and 
operated arts and crafts enterprises is a program of the Indian Arts 
and Crafts Board that promotes American Indian and Alaska Native arts 
and crafts. The Source Directory is a listing of American Indian and 
Alaska Native owned and operated arts and crafts businesses that may be 
accessed by the public on the Indian Arts and Crafts Board's Web site 
http://www.doi.gov/iacb.
    The service of being listed in this directory is provided free-of-

members of federally recognized tribes. Businesses listed in the Source 
Directory include American Indian and Alaska Native artists and 
craftspeople, cooperatives, tribal arts and crafts enterprises, 
businesses privately-owned-and-operated by American Indian and Alaska 
Native artists, designers, and craftspeople, and businesses privately 
owned-and-operated by American Indian and Alaska Native merchants who 
retail and/or wholesale authentic Indian and Alaska Native arts and 
crafts. Business listings in the Source Directory are arranged 
alphabetically by State.
    The Director of the Board uses this information to determine 
whether an individual or business applying to be listed in the Source 
Directory meets the requirements for listing. The approved application 
will be printed in the Source Directory. The Source Directory is 
updated as needed to include new businesses and to update existing 
information. There is one type of application form, with a box to check 
what type of listing they are applying for: (1) New businesses--group; 
(2) new businesses--individual; (3) businesses already listed--group; 
and (4) businesses already listed--individual.
    The authorities for this action are the Indian Arts and Crafts Act 
(25 U.S.C. 305) and the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
3501, et seq.).

Meridith Z. Stanton,
Director, Indian Arts and Crafts Board.
