Established in 1974, the Indian Arts and Crafts Association (IACA) is an international not-for-profit organization whose mission is to support the effective protection, ethical promotion and preservation of American Indian arts and crafts. IACA works to stop fraud and abuse within the Indian art market through education, publicity, authentication and use of its logo to indicate certified ethical businesses.

Headquartered in Albuquerque, New Mexico, IACA was formed when members of the Indian arts and crafts industry became concerned when imitations and imports were flooding the marketplace. They realized that by joining forces they could work more effectively to promote authenticity and find ways to educate the buyers and public about American Indian art.
