Ma'am can you please take this down? Not only is it cultural appropriation, but it is also offensive. I know you are trying to promote yourself as an ally by recognizing Indigenous people's day, but this video comes off as completely ignorant. Native Americans are more than fabricated feathers and a war cry! Stop promoting us as a costume for clout! For corrective measures, please start by taking this video down, acknowledging your mistakes, educating yourself on contemporary indigenous populations, and refrain from generalizations (side note: there are more than 500 federally recognized tribes in the United States). The reason why we find content like this offensive and irritating is because it is a form of erasure of our existence.

Now i am not native american but i am an ally to them, and i want to help give them freedom and to let people know that their culture is not a costume. The native americans that were here first made these beautiful headdresses that they would earn and work hard to get. take for example a Olympic medal. the athelete worked years and years to train and work to get that medal. once you got the medal, you'd accomplish something that made it feel worth something. but then, people have started mass producing those medals, and now that someone is able to buy one for $20 off of Ebay, it isn't worth anything. That is a big difference from dressing up as a king or queen, rather than dressing up from someone's culture which you might not be.

Please, to everyone watching. Do not DIY this. This is cultural appropriation. It is also against the law! It is a violation of the Indian Arts and Crafts Act (Act). Please note that the Act applies to art and craft products being displayed (even on social media) or offered for sale, or sold, as American Indian, Indian, Alaska Native, Native American, or the product of a particular Indian tribe as defined by the Act. So, if you have to ask yourself if you should? Just don't, please 🙏.

We all appropriate each other's culture in a multi-cultural society. Getting upset about it rather than taking it as a compliment, is just unproductive and perpetuates our personal victimhood and honours our segregation as human beings, rather than our cohesion and tolerance...and celebrating our diversity. We're all members of the same family of man.

[@kearaabraham9808]

@@veronicawood8295 I agree with that; but why not appropriate culture appropriately rather than mixing a few selected cultures and calling it one. Even though that is how most of the world is(by that I mean most religions and cultures); it just seems more logical if you’re making a video on a certain culture of people to use THEIR music rather than choosing the first thing that shows up when you KZbin Indian music.

@@crimsonbutterflies it is not a "costume" though is the point... turning something sacred into a "costume" anyone can wear is "disrespectful" at the very least. Trying to pretend it means respect does not fool anyone! Please do some research into how it must be earned, you will see how very foolish it is to try to turn it into something anyone can wear!!! and yes, if you are not actively fighting the #genocide of half the world then you are "digging" it... there is no middle ground where you can just say something and pretend that is fighting the ongoing genocide!!! get your body between the war criminals and the #indigenous, that is the only way to stop it! if you did not dig the genocide you would be addressing your comments to other one instead of to me! now try to do some introspection and realize what this means about your and your viewpoint... because everything we do has meaning ~even if the meaning is we are thoughtless and careless and trust me, this is not a way to be! I bet you think you are "reasonable" but that is very far from the truth. Look up the word sacred, it does not mean go to some building once a week to be seen. It will help you understand the world much better and you can come back and apologize once you gain understanding.... A real #indigenous would not put on sacred regalia for a "photoshoot" though. If they do it is because of the genocide and her loss of self respect! And that does not honor the #indigenous at all but highlights the ongoing genocide, do you see yet?

This is NOT costumes to be made to dress up in. It is actual someone's traditional clothing and not to be mad a joke out of for your pleasure. Why don't you ask a real indigenous person how they feel about their Traditional Regalia (clothing) being used as costumes. HONOR the Indigenous people, DON'T sink to her level in discrimination to the ORIGINAL and TRUE Americans the Indigenous people of this place they have called Turtle Island for over a thousand years. Hasn't the American Indians and First Nation Indians (from Canada) been disgraced enough by this great country that's we call theUnited States of America??? Hasn't our government done enough to them to have people make fun of them by using them as mascots or using your clothing as costumes for dressing up in. Think about how you would feel having your land taken from you and then having people make fun of you. They weren't even considered Americans until the 1920s even though they where here first.

Please don't wear these costumes it does not honor us in any way shape or form it is harmful for a youth to be seen as nothing but a dress up costume when they work hard on making and fashioning the regalia are real clothes that we wear during the sacred times and it's basically spitting in our face please don't dress up like this and don't make costumes out of what my people hold sacred please

[@nitasen2298]

Jay, i am sorry if i have offended you, but again, in no way was this tutorial made to mock your culture but instead out of admiration.

[@jayy2949]

@@nitasen2298 Nita Sen i am happy you admire my culture and to truly show admiration, not wearing my people's sacred regalia would honor us much more. I grew up seeing elders beside me on the reservation who earned the right by their 70th year alive to wear a War Bonnet or headdress. my tribe in particular does not wear headdresses or War bonnets but being an inter tribal Nation many of the elders I was raised around from other reservations and other tribes were allowed to wear these because they had earned every Stich and every feather and every bead and every piece of fabric every piece of buckskin everything that goes into making something that only our leaders, Chiefs ,and medicine men can wear and as for the war paints on the face that is something also sacred and only certain people can adorne. It is a big problem today for our children to go on KZbin and see videos like yours even though you have no bad intentions I truly believe you are trying to honor us but it is not honor that our children see or that we as adults see, our children see the continuation of us being nothing more than a costume for anyone to wear and that leads into being just a cartoon as well as a mascot and even at schools my children were taught that we had gone extinct with the dinosaurs we were not alive anymore or that we have millions of dollars from reservations casinos just lies that pile on top of Lies not to mention problems such as missing and murdered indigenous women are extremely high sexual assault and rape average which is every 3 out of 5 native women will be sexually assaulted by a non-native man in their lifetime which is higher than the national average and higher than any other race or ethnicity in this nation, we have many problems that we are overcoming since the white settlers first came and set foot onto this land illegally and we have overcome many issues but when our children see a woman adorning a headdress made for a respected male Elder and see how hard they've been working on making their regalia makes their real regalia something that is just that much less special because people are doing it on KZbin left and right making Indian costumes and again people that don't mean any harm but it is harmful it piles on top of piles of problems and our children feel it and we as adults feel it. if it is not okay to wear blackface to honor the black community or dress up as a holocaust Survivor to honor the Jewish community that survived that atrocity then why is it okay to dress up as my indigenous people when we survived such an attempted genocide that is still going on today in more subtle ways? I hope do you see what I mean I'm not coming at you with any hate or anger I just want to educate you about something that is not talked about often or in fact at all in schools or in any other way. It would honor us if you would discuss things like you said at the beginning of your video like not calling it Columbus Day that was wonderful. if you could focus on things like that and give us what you have to say, that would honor us because you seem to be a friend to our people not denying the past and being offencive to us with your speech at all. if you would just leave the costume out of it ....you are better than that, you seem to be a good person and I'm asking you please do not dress this way. as someone who puts on regalia and understands every piece and whose hands have sown every Stitch who dances for the right reasons I beg you please do not wear this and do not show people how to make this I'm sure that you could make such more fashionable beautiful things that are not racial or having any prejudicial quality. Have a good day my friend

I think I can see the problem with. Along it a costume . However it’s really unfair and racist discriminatory If only people born as native Americans can wear a war bonnet. It’s not non native Americans faults they are Native American. Having said that, try to earn a war bonnet the official way is good but if it’s not possible for some people, then what’s the point of preventing these people from wearing one if they like the culture . Sure , people who like the culture should try to earn it the official way , but if it’s not possible, then what . It’s just not fair and considerate . I also do see a problem of people treating a war bonnet as a costume and just throws it out after they are done. Last thing, if someone took the time to make one, that definitely means they’re earn it. They put time and energy to learn another culture to make something from another culture. They deserve permission to wear it becuase they made it and they like the culture

Nev Rosee - well technically it is. The proper definition of “costume” is as follows; cos·tume noun /ˈkäsˌt(y)o͞om 1. a set of clothes in a style typical of a particular country or historical period. But if you are offended I apologize as I created this costume out of admiration. This video was not intended to mock your culture. Thanks for your understanding :)
