Fake art drives down prices, forces Native Americans to quit their crafts and devalues Native American art.

So that's your best guess at this point.

I think we still need to move forward.

The primary purpose of the IACA is to protect Indian artists and businesses, tribal economics and culture.

I would like to acknowledge the former chairman of the Committee, this Committee, this Senate Indian Affairs Committee, Senator Ben Nighthorse Campbell.

And my understanding, when you were the U.S. attorney, you initiated efforts with the leaders of the Indian Nations here in New Mexico and asked their input and how to do better in the job which you were doing.

I would ask that in addition to revising the statute, that you would also consider respectively contacting the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

We commend Senator Tom Udall and the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs for taking up this important strengthening of the Arts and Crafts Act

I fully support efforts to enhance and enforce legislation providing harsher penalties for those who would cheat our indigenous artists by appropriating their culture.

I think we need to watch out for each other, and we need to help.

I support Senator Udall's modernization proposal of the Indian Arts and Crafts Act.

I fully support Tom Udall's efforts to strengthen the Indian Arts & Crafts Act of 1990 to further protect our Native American Art.
