A list of tagging representatives is available from the Marine Mammals Management Field Office. Authentic Native handicrafts may be sold to a non-Native. This means items composed of a significantly altered pelt or that are wholly or in some significant respect made of natural materials and produced, decorated, or fashioned in the exercise of traditional handicrafts without the use of pantographs, multiple carvers, or other mass copying devices. Traditional handicrafts include, but are not limited to weaving, carving, stitching,sewing, lacing, beading, drawing and painting. Polar bear rugs are not considered a legal handicraft.
Regulations vary depending on land ownership.
It is the collector's responsibility to know whose lands they are visiting. In addition to those parts, Alaska Natives may also collect the skins, meat and organs from these animals. Parts must be reported within 30 days of the find. Once these parts are registered by a non-Native, they become property of the finder and cannot be sold, traded or given away without permission from the registering agency. Ivory found on the beach by Natives is treated in the same manner as ivory collected during a harvest - it must be tagged within 30 days and may then be made into handicrafts.
