If Native folks are making it to sell to white people with the approval of their tribe, it’s not “appropriation”–its support and appreciation! So yes, buy that native-made dream catcher, but not the mass produced fakes made by white people. Like, you can go to a pow wow and buy native crafts there, too.
here are some places to get native/indigenous goods and merch online if you can’t find something local or if physical access is an obstacle:

and the only native-owned comic shop in the world: https://redplanetbooksncomics.com/
This semester in college we’ve been working with a company in an indigenous museum to help their sales
They work with native artists in all of Brazil, so the site is in portuguese

Buying from indigenous artists is not appropriation!
I feel it should be mentioned that the OP (@/femcassidy) is a racefaker who has lied about being part of multiple different tribes on different platforms and who did brownface. If someone wants to make a new post about buying from Native creators, that would be awesome, because I’m sick of seeing this one on my dash.
