so when are we gonna talk about how a lot of the “trendy spiritual vibes” culture that plenty of you participate in is a dollar store version of indigenous traditions? you guys are also guilty of this /srs
the same white women who love their arrow/feather/dreamcatcher clusterfucking nightmare are the vegans who villainize natives for using meat and then go burn endangered sage because it’s trendy. you think native culture is an accessory to wear while the last of us die out.
you don’t get to parade around the part of our culture you like because you saw it on pinterest after someone shoved it into consumerism like a neat little appropriational package.
i know a lot of you genuinely mean well and want to help but while throwing away your fake dream catchers is a good start, it’s far from completely fixing the problem and will take of lot more work than that. please spend time doing research, even if it’s just a few minutes.
we need to start doing more, a lot of people are ruining out of time and reserves are deteriorating faster than we can get people out. please help where you can. /srs
