BILL SPONSOR

Amends the Migratory Bird Treaty Act to provide that nothing in such Act prohibits possessing, selling, bartering, purchasing, shipping, and transporting any authentic Alaska Native handicraft on the basis that it contains a nonedible migratory bird part. Makes such exemption inapplicable with respect to any handicraft containing any part of a migratory bird that was taken in a wasteful manner.

Defines "Alaska Native handicraft" to mean any handicraft or clothing item that is composed of natural materials and produced, decorated, or fashioned by an Alaska Native, in the exercise of traditional Alaska Native handicrafts, without the use of any pantograph or other mass copying device, including any weaving, carving, stitching, sewing, lacing, beading, drawing, or painting or an item combining such techniques.
