Exposing Etsy: The Truth About Fake “Native American” Products

In this episode of Beyond Buckskin, we take another look at the massive problem hiding in plain sight on online marketplaces like Etsy. 

With a quick search for “Native American,” thousands of products appear, but many of them are falsely labeled, created by non-Native sellers, and violate the federal Indian Arts and Crafts Act. 

Jessica breaks down why this misrepresentation isn’t just misleading, it’s illegal, harmful, and directly impacts Native artists who rely on their cultural work for their livelihood. 

And, unfortunately, it keeps happening.
