If you're an Alaska Native who carves or crafts items from marine mammal ivory, bone, or baleen (the bristly material from whale mouths) into traditional handicrafts or clothing, states would no longer be allowed to ban you from selling, shipping, trading, or possessing those items across state lines. Right now, some states have their own laws restricting ivory sales, even for handmade traditional goods, and this would override those state bans specifically for items legally made by Alaska Natives as authentic cultural handicrafts. In practice, this means buyers in other states could legally purchase these traditional items, and Alaska Native artisans could ship and sell their work nationwide without running into state-level ivory restrictions.
