You're being a bit closed minded here. 1) She's not trying to offend your race or culture. She even said it. 2) She is part Native American. I really don't see why only the natives can enjoy the culture. I find Warbonnets beautiful. What if I wanted to wear one because of that? How would me appreciating the beauty of something be offensive? It's her choice what she wears.

First of all; I read your message to her on her page where you called me rude. She is promoting racism and called me a filthy c*nt and you called me rude and defended her. If anyone was being rude it was the racist girl you keep defending.
1. ) Intent is irrelevant; if someone does something racist the damage has been done whether she hates us or not.
2. She claims she is Native. She is not Native. And being Native does not exempt her from her racist behavior. Her photo is racist and dehumanizes Native Americans. And she has been called out by many Native peoples and she responds with “i don’t care”. She does not care if she promotes racism; she cares more about looking spiritual, cute, and hipster, than she cares about an entire race.
3. You nor she gets to decide if a tribe will open up their cultural items for public usage. The nations that use warbonnets are closed cultures and advocated that they do not want people to wear warbonnets if a) they haven’t earned the right to wear one b) they have not earned each and every eagle feather; and the feathers can not be any other feathers than eagle and c) if their tribes haven’t not granted to person permission.
You cannot speak for the nations. They speak for themselves.
You cannot just steal things and mock their significance.
