I dropped her off this morning and saw girls (and boys) wearing grass skirts, some of them with coconut bras too. I’m not sure what else is going on, but it doesn’t seem very respectful of a native culture that we have seriously fucked over. Would they have a “Native American Day” and let kids come in wearing feathered headdresses?

Or am I reading too much into it?

    Well no, I think that literally appropriating their culture by wearing their ceremonial clothing is a qualifier for that. That it’s appropriating a culture that America committed genocide against is just the icing on the cake.
