Abstract | In this article, the author addresses the burden of non-Native expectation on Native artists, highlighting issues of authenticity, creation, and public display. The author writes about the booth sitters hired by collectors to sit--sometimes all night--and wait for the official opening of the annual Indian Market in Santa Fe, New Mexico. He focuses attention on the desire of consumers who wish to find "genuine" objects without recognizing the problematics of their wanting and the subsequent affect it has on the artists and market. The author points out how closely linked production and representation are, though this relationship is difficult to address publicly because of its complexity. (Contains 14 figures and 32 notes.)
