Yeah, how dare she perpetuate the stereotype that they had feather headdresses and flowers! No Native American has done that in real life.
Actually, most Native Americans don’t have feathered headdresses like this. Only a handful of plains tribes use warbonnets like this. Feathers and warbonnets have very particular religious and cultural significance. Not just anybody is allowed to wear them, and women never wear them. So, no, this doesn’t have anything to do with what Native Americans do in real life, and everything to do with some sort of bizarre Tiger Lilly Indian Princess fashion fantasy that only ignorant white people have.
Wait, so you’re saying they didn’t, except that some of them did and doing so had a lot of cultural significance. Flawless argument.
Please read what I wrote again. I said in SOME tribes, some MALE members wore warbonnets, and that in these situations, the warbonnets had religious and cultural significance. Women never wore war bonnets, and from a religious and cultural perspective, it does not make sense for women to wear them.
