Ah’m happy to watch Shogo, it’s just…

[oftheroyalnavy-blog]

Not exactly. At least, not right now.

We're getting into the slow months, so I have a week of barely anything to do.

[oftheroyalnavy-blog]

Well, here’s the thing.

My uncle is a native, and so are a few of his relatives. He’s taught me a thing or two about the culture, and I’ve picked up one or two things through research. The big problem I have with appropriation is that it isn’t just ‘learning about the customs’ when it comes to some things. The headdresses for example. People get angry when the headdresses are appropriated as simple fashion pieces because the warbonnets are sacred symbols of achievement and valor, every feather having been earned by said member of the tribe. It’s been likened to people wearing a Medal of Honor around as an accessory because they’re interested in the military lifestyle, or holding a fake diploma because it makes for nice window dressing. Take it from me, we love it when people are interested in the culture. We encourage people to take what they can and learn more about it. But, it starts crossing our nerves when non-natives start to manufacture things (‘native’ jewelry, dream catchers, headdresses ect.) to turn a profit. If you like the jewelry and leather work, that’s great. I can only suggest that you buy from a native dealer though. 

[imakemyfatex]

I understand with the headdresses. That is rude on the part of those taking it out of it’s context. Though sometimes once you know the context, it doesn’t stop you. I’ve been collecting a lot of Hand of Fatima pieces since I learned it was used as a symbol of feminine strength. But with what I’ve seen with regards to people talking about it, a lot of it seems to be along the lines of attitudes that would have me put down for wearing scarves like I mentioned, you know? 

With that one, I do the best I can. There’s a market that comes to town every so often with lots of different stalls, and sometimes there’s this Native American one. It does say it’s all handcrafted. All they have on the labels is an email address and no website. The only other thing I could do from where I am is make my way to Camden in London, that’s probably a good bet. I’m not in a position to order things online, so it makes it hard. 

[oftheroyalnavy-blog]

I'm not really in a place to comment on appropriating the Hindi culture as I don't know anyone who practices it. But, people get angry about the Hands of Fatima tattoo's and such because they see it as the predominately white culture taking the sacred symbols of other cultures as their own property so to speak, as is the usual argument against Native American appropriation. Depends on the kind of scarves you wear, I guess. I personally don't have a problem with it so long as it doesn't incorporate any prominent symbology, things like that.
