She tells that “all Native Americans are not the same” then decides that she is the voice for all Native Americans and decides what offends them.

I was complimented on my costume yesterday in Sam’s Club.

Apparently, I am a very convincing Hasidic Jew. Best they’d ever seen.

. Each feather in a war bonnet symbolizes a single act of courage in the face of death and destruction- and no, fielding crowds of sweaty, irritable shoppers to buy a fake headdress at Spirit Halloween doesn’t count. War bonnets are more akin to Purple Hearts.

Wow! So I guess the peaceful Native Americans who never waged war on each other only created the War Bonnet after the evil Europeans arrived.

I’m surprised you weren’t reported for being offensive to Muslims.

The traditional clothing we wear is called regalia

Sorry, sweetie, it's not.

Regalia refers to the symbols and ornaments worn by a king, as it's from the Latin rex.

What you wear is called a traditional costume, and just about every ethnic group on earth has one or more. But most of them don't get their loincloths all bunched up over someone else wearing or imitating it.

You’d be amazed at the shoulders and hairy eyeballs I catch when in NYC or Houston.

Needs more cow-bell.

She’s in a position to know better than I do, but doesn’t mention that the Plains Indian headdress was worn in modern times by other tribes who had never worn it, as an expression of American Indian identity, in a somewhat similar way to Celts like the Welsh and Cornish wearing kilts.
