Hi Katie,
Am I correct in understanding that by "authentic reproductions", you mean you are interested in commissioning Native American artists to represent historic motifs/materials from their communities? Since you are interested in representing such a broad range of cultural groups (including archaeological ones), you will probably find that you need to work with multiple artists. I would recommend checking out artist pages on Native art market websites like SWAIA https://swaia.org/indian-market/2020-exhibitors/ or Cherokee Art Market https://www.visitcherokeenation.com/cherokee-art-market/art-gallery. These markets follow the regulations of the Indian Arts and Crafts Act when vetting participants, which protects the artists' cultural property from being appropriated, and ensures that buyers can purchase "authentic" work. Folks from many different tribes participate in these markets, so there's a chance you'll see the type of work you're looking for represented there. Then you can reach out to the artist directly about your commission.
All the best,
Rebekah

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] NA Artifact Reproductions
Hi Everyone,
We are currently looking for someone that makes authentic reproductions for an upcoming exhibit. The exhibit covers the role of waterfowl in NA cultures across North America and their influence on wetlands conservation today. We are currently exploring focusing on these cultures/periods: Mississippian, Lovelock Cave and Discoveries, Northern Paiutes, Choctaw, and James Bay Cree. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Katie
