Dressing up as “sexy Indians” and wearing warbonnets directly contributes to the dehumanization and fetishization of Native American peoples, especially Native American women.
Statistically speaking, 1 in 3 Native American women will be raped and/or experience sexual violence at least once in her lifetime. Well over half of these rapes are committed by non-Native people, and among these people, most of them White men.
Stop the fetishization of Native American women.

Halloween is coming up y’all, please don’t buy or support “Native-inspired” halloween costumes.
