THIS BEAR WAS NOT HUNTED FOR PLEASURE.
My people have harvested bears for thousands of years for spiritual use and food. There are special prayers made to ask the bear nation forgiveness before taking the life of one of the bear people. Bear meat is high in fat and is quite tasty it is divided amongst the people for meals. To my people bear fat has healing abilities, the fat is rendered secret herbs are added and it is used as a healing treatment and given to many elders. Bear skulls are often used for prayer sticks or alters, bear robes for healing ceremonies to help bring the bear back to the ceremony, we wear bear claws to carry the healing medicine and strength of the bear with us to honor him.
Check your local state laws before purchasing this item. If you purchase this item I assume you have checked your laws and you can legally purchase it. Any and all legal ramifications are on you. Idaho allows the sale of Black bear products, many states do not. Know your laws. Contact your local fish and wildlife department for information of legalities as I am only licensed to know Idaho laws and am not responsible if you do not check yours.
The Crafty Crawford
Meet the Maker
My name is pronounced “Ooo-Hen” I’m Native American and Gael. I’m an enrolled Citizen of The United Cherokee Aniyunwia Tribe (State recognized tribe of approx 3,000 people) I am the product of Two amazing tribal and clan based people. My Family traces our heritage to the Hester roll and Guion Miller Roll. My Cherokee family ties originated in the Carolinas. Campbell, Smith, Hightower, Murphy and other family names located around the Spartansburg trade routes. My Great Great Great grandfather Issac (Photo to the right) served in WW1 to obtain his United States citizenship and was marked as Indian Citizen on his draft card documents. We also have more Native and Scottish relatives back in the 1700’s. The Vann Family was caught in the middle of the Fur trade towards the end of the Powhatan Confederacy and eventually married into the King family (Cherokee) I have been making my native crafts since the age of 9. I am Adopted Lakota and spend a lot of my time researching family history and ever curious I am always seeking traditional knowledge to share with others along the way. Culture is often complex, being multicultural is also deeply complex. I identify as Native and Gael to encompass all of my clans and leave those doors open to both of my cultures. I recently completed my schooling and hold a Doctorate in Ancient Theology, with a Masters in Arts of Ancient Spirituality and a Bachelors of Environmental spirituality. I am always a student of History and culture and do my best to represent the ancestors I come from.
Your items are professionally cleaned and processed by a professional Taxidermist. (Idaho license #288942516) You can rest assured that only the choice hides and ethically sourced hides are used. No Fur industry hides are used. It is imperative that my business contributes to conservation. By using hunted hides all funds trickle back into permits and licensing from Idaho Fish and Game which promotes healthy and well managed forests. Taxes don’t pay for conservation…
Hunting/fishing/trapping licenses and tags do! By eating domestic cattle you feed the industry that is responsible for most green house gasses, but also the destruction of valuable forests to create more grazing grass for the commercial meat industry. I donate and share my crafts to my local community, my tribe, and I set aside all scraps and craft materials and ship it to various prisons across the country for their Native yards to have craft supplies. I am an enrolled member of an officially State Recognized tribe my products are Native American made in accordance with the Native American Arts and Craft act of 1990

Product up-keep
As with all natural things they will want to deteriorate. The ultimate enemy of my products is MOISTURE! Bacteria live and breed in moisture and wet climates. To ensure your product has a long life do NOT allow it to get wet, a few rain drops wont hurt but I do NOT suggest showering, submerging, swimming, sweat lodging ect with any of these products.
Warranty
These products are nature made. Claws break, teeth crack and bones chip. There is no warranty on the actual animal item,claw or tooth things. Everything possible to ensure this product lasts a very long time has been taken. So long as the product is taken care of in a respectful manner it should last a while. All claws are cleaned, polished and sealed as are all skulls bones etc. All items ship insured if damaged by mail you will have to submit to me the required information for me to be able to refund you. With daily wear a clasp or string can break. If this happens to you Aodhan will fix or replace it free of charge so long as the business is in standing but you must pay to ship the product to me both ways. Crafty Crawford will not replace claws/teeth etc. that are lost or broken when this happens as I can’t be responsible for natural occurring wear on cord or life itself. Some of my necklaces have lasted over 5 years on this cord. Cords are made of 100% natural cotton material NOT leather as leather breaks within 2 months of use and rots with body sweat. However if the buyer wants to pay more to have it strung on wire I will do so. Buyer will pay all shipping both ways to have any and all repair done. Please purchase insurance as Crafty Crawford will not be held responsible for lost or damaged or lost property mailed to me in the mail. Again these are natural materials made by mother nature. Aodhan does his best to make all products carefully and will work with you to make sure you are not dissapointed but can not protect against lifes happenings. Thank you for understanding items are under warranty for 30 days after purchase. Necklace clasps and string I will repair again, so long as business is in business.

I DO NOT SHIP INTERNATIONALLY
Why?
1.All international wildlife shipments are subject to: USFWS Inspection Fee, Brokers Fees and International shipping charges These are VERY expensive.
2.Paperwork for international orders can take up to six months to process and orders under $5,000 are impractical.
Sorry for the inconvenience but due to federal paperwork and high export fees, I am unable to fulfill requests internationally at this time. Please see the FAQ page for more information.
