  • So now after spending a researching for a few day (read: googled the words "Native American Images"), and you found out that the sacred significance that Native Americans have toward certain feathers and the white buffalo, I really don't think so. From that research you have determined that the sacredness that some Native Americans place over these things are equatable to pens and neckties?

    Let me be clear, the whole of Native America did not invent buffalos or feathers, tribes placed a certain significance on them. Taking those images and putting that on a t-shirt seems wrong and without a shred of context it seems lazy. This is the exact same thing american sports teams do.

    How can you have a "great respect and i can say love for Native American culture." When you think it's the same as pens and ties?

  • Rico, I can understand that this purely from a place of respect and honor (I'm sure the American Indian College Fund can expect a nice donation from the proceeds of this shirt).

    However, Look at the example of Elizabeth Durack which, if she was from the US, would be called playing indian. Durack decided to make up an indigenous person named Eddie Burrup and wouldn’t stop until her death. “Durack claimed that her familiarity with Aboriginal life entitled her to create Aboriginal art through the “alter ego” of Eddie Burrup.” This appropriation of a culture for commercial purposes continues and it’s this entitlement that keeps great and real indigenous artists locked down.

    Is this different because RicaMambo didn't make anyone up? I'd actually like to know.

  • I don't know... Using overly generalized Native American imagery just seems inappropriate. Don't get me wrong, the craftsmanship is top notch but appropriating another cultures images and words in such a vague way seems disingenuous.
