    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

    The service of being listed in this directory is provided free-of-

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

information. There is one type of application form, with a box to check

(2) new businesses--individual; (3) businesses already listed--group; 
and (4) businesses already listed--individual.
