“One big problem is that it trivializes the American Indian race. Our traditional regalia is much more than clothing. It is a sacred and personal spiritual expression of our most holy ways. When we paint our face a certain way, wear eagle feathers and design our incredibly complex patterns bead, quill, leather, shell and so on, these are all very holy and sacred interpretations of our spirituality. To dress an innocent child in silly colored chicken feathers, a brown paper sack and paint their face with mock ‘Indian’ designs is an insult to the sacred spiritual expressions of American Indian people.”
