My native American headress came ^.^ it has these lovely little leather discs on the sides and also little fox tails hanging down.
This is actually exactly what I needed after a horrid day at work and then being an emotional drunk all evening haha
im convinced that the people who do this shit live no where near natives cause if they did someones cousin would call his boys n nem to fancy dance on this hos face
holy shit
People you need to calm THE FUCK DOWN about this.
If she were wearing it to mock Native Americans or make light of their culture then that would NOT be ok and i’d say fire away with the anon hate.
But she’s wearing this because she enjoys the look. I wouldn’t get horribly offended if someone wore something sacred to me because they enjoy the look of it instead of the meaning behind it, I wouldn’t be an anal retentive asshole like a lot of people on tumblr seem to be.
there’s a difference between social justice and being a petty piece of shit who doesn’t know how to pick their battles, OK?
a gentle reminder to her that she should respect and take proper care of the headdress would be enough.
I highly doubt she means any offense.
translation: im white and my opinion on the appropriation of native cultures means more than an actual native american
I am just tired of seeing this picture. We should wear whatever we want for whatever reason. Did she murder your mom, you butthurt pusspuss?
These images are harmful and dehumanizing. Why should she have the right to steal sacred items for her own selfish amusement? Would you be offended if non-military people who costume Purple Hearts? Would you be offended if a non-Christian wore a costume Pope costume? Do you not understand what sacred means? Reducing an entire race into a costume is harmful and there are Native people who get hurt from this belief. Your vanity does not trump the respect and safety of an entire race.
