“Native American” costumes promote racism and racist stereotypes. These costumes are dehumanizing and are often used to fetishize Native women. 1 in 3 Native women will be raped at least once in their life time. 85% of those rapes will be committed by non-Native men. Wearing a costume to depict a race is racist. Wearing a hyper-sexualized “Native American” costume promotes the dangerous fetishization of Native women.
