Why wearing a navite costume  is wrong.

Wearing a naitive Costume is wrong because number one Is very racist.

Number 2 its red face. If the Native sees the costume they can sue the company and they feel targeted when someone wears the costume because they earn each feather The natives feel like they’re mocking them. They also feel targeted because each feather is earned instead of bought.  Their culture NOT your not your costume. Costumes should not become opportunities to turn a person’s identity into a stereotyped image  the letter said. While students might choose to dress as a famous person or character whose identity is different than their own, please reinforce the importance of not darkening skin or using makeup to change a child’s skin color to match the person who they are dressing up to be. Students are often unaware of the long history these traditions have of causing harm and need our help in understanding why it can be hurtful and problematic.

In class, they have lessons on identity throughout the year and all the parts of ourselves that go into identity.

Why do you think this is a problem?
