hi! sorry if this is a weird request/question. ill be going to a conference this summer and this conference involves being on teams. one of the team names is 'Indians.' i've seen pics of kids in Native American attire at the conference. i would like to email the conference admins and tell them why it is bad for them to encourage dressing up in faux Native American attire, but i dont know specifically what i should say. what is the main point that i should get across to them? sorry to bother you!

I have two links under my about me button that discusses cultural appropriation and I sited a couple well-written articles. Perhaps if you send the article to them they might give it a look?
