For my second post this week I really want to focus on what we talked about towards the beginning of the week.<\/p>\n
We talked about buying artifacts that look Native American from nonnative vendors. This never really crossed my mind before we talked about this in class. The way it was explained made a lot of sense. Why are we buying things that only benefit big corporations?<\/p>\n
After this class when I got home I noticed that I had a pillowcase with some Native American print on it that I had bought from Walmart. I ended up going out and buying new pillow cases and I’m not going to use that pillowcase again.<\/p>\n
Thanks to this class period I was able to learn more about what cultural appropriation is and how to try and avoid it. From now on if I want something that is based off of Native American culture I will go to the source and buy it there instead of allowing big corporations to try and adapt what they believe into our culture.<\/p>\n
I actually plan on going to the Navajo Nation this summer, August 4-11, and knowing what I know now I might get some items and talk to native vendors to see the importance and historical facts about their items. This way I can help support their local economy and help the people who made the items.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
