Wonder why non natives can get confused?


Cultural misappropriation is a land of darkness


Cultural appropriation and cultural misappropriation.

Cultural appropriation happens every day, especially in the world of fashion.

Cultural misappropriation is a place where one culture (most often one that has an historical record of oppressing other cultures) engages in the unauthorized taking of some aspects of another culture.

Appreciating Native American headdresses is great. Wearing a headdress when you have not been authorized to wear one is not, take the headdress off, you look silly.

The photo is an example to think about, this person is wearing an indigenous tribe from Mexico's headdress.

The head of some Eastern Woodland people wear Lakota headdress so is it any wonder why non natives can get confused?
