fyi non-natives wearing moccasins isnt cultural appropriation but if you want moccasins you should definitely be buying them from natives. otherwise youre creating profit for the white people who were/are trying to exterminate us.
I was told this by a Native American guy I went to school with so now I do that. Iād rather put money back where it belongs. This resonates deeply with me as a black woman who tries to support Black and Non White individuals. - K
!!! Please this thing, donāt buy crappy moccasin rip off shoes from chains, please make sure you buy authentic ones made by us!! Also stop wearing them in the fucking rain and ruining them goddamnit
also the ones made by first nations are always way better anyway????? thereās this woman named Sunshine Tenasco-BrazeauĀ in eastern canada that makes them for babies and theyāve been known to sell like crazy because theyāre amazing. You can get them here and she employs tons of other first nations women and itās a great little native-owned company.Ā
Reblogging this for the links in the last comment. Itās really cool to raise awareness, but itās even cooler with something like this to provide links to places where you can actually buy the goods in question!
