Indigenous Rising

natural-thin:

I still don’t understand why people are offended over Native American headdresses in editorials and on the runway….

You do not understand that racist stereotypes are racist? you do not understand that a sacred item is sacred? you do not understand that white people have stolen our people, our land, our ways of life, and they still want to take more and that it is unacceptable? you don’t understand that our women are being fetishized and that 1 in 3 native women will be raped more than once in their lifetime, and that up 75% of those rapes are committed by non-native men, and that these fetishes are promoted in the media? Do you lack common sense or compassion?
