A note of caution!   We know of no person who can look at a piece of jewelry and say for a fact who made it, unless that person either witnessed it being made, or made it themselves. A bracelet, for example, cannot talk.  A name engraved on it cannot talk.   A "certificate" attached to it cannot talk.  (Blank certificates, by the way, are for sale in jewelry supply shops - just fill them out, and there you have a "Certificate of Authenticity".  We don't believe in using these.)   Even though we have many, many years experience in buying and selling the type of jewelry seen on these pages, we do not, and can not, claim to know for an absolute fact who, how, or when it was made. Accordingly, we may indicate "Navajo", "Santo Domingo", "Hopi", "Zuni", or other such descriptions which means it is our belief that the piece being shown represents the style of a particular tribe as we know it. It does not mean that we are saying for a fact that it was made by any particular tribe. We are traders and do not claim mystic powers.  

Most of the products on our website have been designed and made by Native Americans.  However, many of these artists, despite their birth and heritage, cannot legally call their work Native American, or Indian made.  The U.S. Government has created a law and system making it difficult for many true Native American artists to obtain the proper tribal registration and identification due to a lengthy and complicated process.  We are fortunate enough to have suppliers with workshops staffed with some of the best Native American and non-Native American master silversmiths working today.  While some of those Native American artists do indeed have the proper registration and census number, some of them do not.  

And, on occasion we purchase products firmly believing they are American Indian made,  and later find that they may be imported products which appear to have been American Indian made.  In addition, we do feature a very few items which we know are not American Indian made,  (Liquid Silver items, for example) and we say so in their description on the web page.  Therefore,  because of this, the prior two paragraphs, and the following is our disclaimer which for our own protection is posted here.  "Ugly Otter Trading Post does not warrant or represent that any particular item which is sold or offered for sale on this web site is an authentic Indian art or craft as defined by the laws of the United States, or the laws of any other jurisdiction".
