Harris discusses the Indian Arts and Crafts Board's efforts in Alaska to support Native craftsmen. The Board has established workshops, provided training opportunities at the University of Alaska, and assisted in retraining programs in Nome. These initiatives have led to the development of new craft products, market testing, and the establishment of the Arctic Eskimo Arts and Crafts Association. The programs aim to support Native craftsmen in Alaska and promote the production and marketing of quality craft products.
