Powwow Vendors
The United Indians of All Tribes Foundation 2024 Seafair Powwow vending application opens soon. The application collects the info that we need to ensure you have a place to vend, your details, and your payment. We will not be collecting payment at the Powwow. Food vendors are by invite only. Contact [email protected] for information.
Reproductions or machine made products are discouraged – exceptions are clothing and blankets. This is, historically, culturally and traditionally, a Native American event and your cooperation is appreciated.
UIATF is in full support of the Indian Arts and Crafts Act of 1990; The Indian Arts and Crafts Act of 1990 (P.L. 101-644) is a truth-in-advertising law that prohibits misrepresentation in marketing of Indian arts and crafts products within the United States. It is illegal to offer or display for sale, or sell any art or craft product in a manner that falsely suggests it is Indian produced, an Indian product, or the product of a particular Indian or Indian Tribe or Indian arts and crafts organization, resident within the United States. For a first time violation of the Act, an individual can face civil or criminal penalties up to a $250,000 fine or a 5-year prison term, or both. If a business violates the Act, it can face civil penalties or can be prosecuted and fined up to $1,000,000. https://www.doi.gov/iacb/act.
