Any person who suffers financial injury or damages by reason of any conduct declared in violation of the provisions of the Indian Arts and Crafts Sales Act [30-33-1 to 30-33-11 NMSA 1978] may sue in district court.

Where the court finds that the party charged with violating the Indian Arts and Crafts Sales Act has willfully violated that act, the court may award treble damages to the party complaining of the violation.
