[quote=Anonymous]Oh, really? You guys think it is totally cool to create a "Native American headress?"

Wow. You will have to tell me more about what that looks like.

Did it look like this?

No?

Perhaps like this?

Let me guess-- it was supposed to be a child's version of this:

In other words, a mockery of a piece of important religious/ceremonial clothing that traditionally had to be earned and was worn only in a few tribes?

How about next week your kids make 'African clothing' to learn about the genocidal slavery practices Europeans once engaged in? No? Want to tell me there is no such thing as 'African clothing' and that Egyptians have far different traditional clothing than the Maasai?

Listen-- I let a lot of appropriation stuff slide right off my back but the whole reduction of two continents of cultures and peoples reduced down to a single caricature really gets me going. If you want to teach your kids about Native Americans teach them about your area's local tribes and the clothes they wore. And please, for crying out loud, teach them that we are actually still around...
