Dont do this, dont do that, dont say this, dont say that.......

I bet they dont mind collecting American money for an entrance charge. My suggestion is either to offer them "Native Peoples" currency or if they won't take that, just stay home.

The offending moonbat berating little children

I can understand the “Chief”, “Squaw” and “How” being rude...but sometimes you just have to get over it. I doubt any of the “Real” Indians there live in Tepees or eat stewed dog....

[Turret Gunner A20]

PUKE!!!!

[fieldmarshaldj]

Sounds like it’s time to take ones wampum elsewhere. Plimoth Plantation is supposed to be an enjoyable experience, not a jackbooted fascist PC camp.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

Instead, they prefer to be called Native People or Indigenous People.

Complete and utter BS. I've done a lot of work out on the REAL reservations in Arizona, New Mexico, Montana, and South Dakota, and up in Alaska Native villages, and guess what? Indians call themselves Indians and have no problem with that term. The only ones who do are the pompous self-appointed "leaders" who peddle this politically correct non-sense to promote their own self-serving agendas.

They sure as hell don’t. The Wampanoags are more interested these days in getting their casino built.

"Native people find it offensive when they see a non-native person dressed up and playing Indian"

1. The kid *is* a native American, she was born here, you savage.

2. We native Americans find it offensive when you Indians dress like Europeans, so strip, Squeals Like a Pig.

3. On second thought, cancel #2, you fat loser.

Jeez, lady......get over yourself already.

[G.Mason]

Native peoples my behind.

This ugly cow is offensive just standing there with it's mouth shut.

Meanwhile, the indians dictating this crap stand there in T-shirts and jeans.

If we can't dress like Indians, then the Indians need to stop dressing like "white eyes".

Based on that picture, she’s ugly on the outside as well as inside. Hassling 9-year-olds and expecting donations. I wonder how much “Great White Father” money was used to build this little paradise she is in charge of.

“Coombs said good intentions do not matter because she and the other Native staff members perceive the costumes as mockery before the wearer has a chance to explain his or her intent.”
Show me the Constitutional right to not be offended or shut the F**K up.

[aomagrat]

Linda Coombs, associate director of the Wampanoag Indigenous Program, asked the girl to remove her homemade beaded costume before visiting the site, reducing the child to tears and upsetting her mother, the Boston Globe reported on Nov. 24.

“Native people find it offensive when they see a non-native person dressed up and playing Indian. It’s perceived as us being made fun of,”

So she gave her a necklace from the gift shop in exchange.

You don't want white people dressing like Indians, yet you have a gift shop selling Indian apparel?

Hypocrite!

My suggestion is either to offer them "Native Peoples" currency or if they won't take that, just stay home.

Bring some beads or a little pipe tobacco as an entrance fee. If they don't accept it, accuse the pseudo-indians of racism.

[nonsporting]

I'm offended that this Indian is wearing my native US american dress. She should take it off.

On second thought ...

[billorites]

The rack on that squaw’s seen many moons...

[billorites]

You're busted kid!

[Andy'smom]

LOL!
