Two Washington state artists have been being charged with pretending to be Native American carvers to sell works at downtown Seattle galleries.
Lewis Anthony Rath, 52, and Jerry Chris Van Dyke, 67, were charged separately by the feds with violating the Indian Arts and Crafts Act, which prohibits misrepresentation in the selling of American Indian or Alaska Native arts and crafts, authorities said Friday.
Seattle? Bet they were extra woke too.
