The ARTIST Act amends the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972 to create and expand exemptions for Alaska Native hunters and artisans to take marine mammals (walrus, narwhal, whale) and use their ivory, bone, and baleen in traditional handicrafts for sale in interstate commerce. The bill defines eligible artisans as Alaska Native residents living on Arctic or North Pacific coasts who use traditional methods without mass-production devices, and permits sale of authentic handicrafts made from marine mammal materials. It also prohibits states from banning the importation or sale of such Alaska Native-made items and requires federal regulators to base any restrictions on substantial evidence including Indigenous knowledge.
