Noksi Press makes no guarantee of an artist's tribal enrollment status. When an artist is of Cherokee descent but not necessarily enrolled, the term "NTA" distinguishes them as "Non Tribally Affiliated" in compliance with the 1990 Indian Arts and Crafts Act. Artists of Cherokee descent that are enrolled in other tribes will have that tribe listed first.
