When Native American designers first broke into the modern fashion industry in the 1950s, they adopted a pan-Indian approach. In Latin America legislation is sparse, but some countries or individual states within countries with high indigenous populations have passed laws to protect indigenous heritage and design. In Canada, there are no specific laws to protect First Nations iconography and traditional arts, though two trademarks, "igloo tag" and "Genuine Cowichan Approved" have been registered to protect Inuit and clothing designs for the Cowichan Tribes. In the United States, in accordance with the Indian Arts and Crafts Act of 1990, in order to qualify as Native American designers, artists must be enrolled in a state or federally recognized tribe or be certified by a specified tribal council.
In some cases, however, they choose not to include any materials associated with indigenous cultures. Their designs may result from techniques such as beadwork, quillwork, leather, and textile arts, such as weaving, twining, and tufting. Indigenous designers frequently incorporate motifs and customary materials into their wearable artworks, providing a basis for creating items for the haute couture and international fashion markets. Native American fashion (also known as Indigenous American fashion) encompasses the design and creation of high-fashion clothing and fashion accessories by the Native peoples of the Americas.
