My culture is not a toy.
a year ago
Many times now I’ve seen the constant misuse and misrepresentation of Indigenous Americans / Native American culture— especially in this fandom. Mostly I see the usage of the feather behind the ear, the robbery of the chief’s headdress, and the misuse of warpaint. Cultural appropriation is so prevalent in this community, it enrages me.

I'm sorry. It makes me angry too that Native American and First Nations cultures are not taken seriously or disrespected entirely. 😤

I am Coastal Native American and it disheartens me to see so little representation for native culture here and elsewhere, save for the occasional feather or headress >.>:; Very disappointing indeed, I'm with you
