<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Taupou, post: 3606945, member: 45&quot;]I think for many sellers who don&#039;t specialize in Native American art, &quot;Navajo&quot; is the first thing they think of when it comes to tribal affiliation, so anything that looks remotely Southwest in style, they assume to be Navajo.&nbsp; It could just as easily be Santo Domingo, Zuni, or a Philippine or Bangkok fake...it all gets identified as Navajo.&nbsp; The imports copy the stamps of known southwest jewelry makers, so even if it is &quot;signed,&quot; it doesn&#039;t mean it is Native American.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s a real problem for the Native American jewelry makers, the majority of whom depend on the craft for their livelihood.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
