[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are not wearing the dreamcatcher. You are not using it as a potholder. You are using it as a dreamcatcher, and it has been shared by [b]Native American[/b] culture as such, and you have not taken it away and made it into something else for merchandising purposes. I don't see how this is cultural appropriation. [/quote] Please don't use the phrase "Native American" to describe the Indian people. That's definitely a microaggression. The preferred term is "Indian" or, better, to refer to someone by their actual tribal affiliation. -- Signed, part Algonquin. [/quote] Serious question-why isn't "Indian" more offensive? They were first called indian mistakenly by Columbus who thought he was heading to India. Why would they still want that misplaced name? Native American, implying they were here FIRST, sounds much more respectful. [/quote]
