in her defense , sometimes we have native American heritage while appearing blindingly white , (why race matters now, amazes me, let it go )depends on your own personal mix (im a mut of 15different races) and even preferences.... stop the judging of others... focus on self ... focus on making a difference not slammin others for what they do/say/etc. remember freewill!!!! Namaste!!!! I love the feathers , I love the native American fetishes(even if its not some sort of patronage or salute to her own personal connections with family or friends) , I have native blood...and her so called "sell out" move with the native American threads well ..... never bothered me. quite the opposite really .. haha ... You are still entitled to your own opinion of course... {|).' )...
If Elizabeth Warren can claim to be Native American with as little as 0.09% native American Blood then I am sure that Juliette Lewis can come up with a few drops. She dated Brad Pitt and he is from Shawnee Oklahoma and 1/2 of Oklahoma is native American, so there.
Me too!... I heard of her band a long time ago but never checked it out because I thought it be another actor just living out there childhood fantasies... But damn, it's good :) And I thought ford singing AC/DC haha
Cultural appropriation Wednesday brought me here! The great thing about white culture is the way we freely adopt and adapt whatever we happen to find useful or aesthetically pleasing in the other cultures we encounter. Our deep respect for innovation, experimentation, and freedom of speech and expression is both a celebration of, and a defensive perimeter that protects, this highly successful evolutionary cultural strategy! So always take heart, and never let those poisoned with envy and resentment disparage you for this.
Ya, but Cher is native. Don't know if Juliette is but who cares? P C is gone way overboard. it has become an excuse for anyone to to state how "offended" they are. I'm native Canadian and I love her shit. Not just cuz of the head dress. Who cares??RELAX!
Has it occurred that she just likes the way the head dresses look???????? Why is it a fucking issue???? This song is fucking wicked cool, and can anyone notice?? NOOOOO, because there is a discussion about superficial things......apologies to the poster, you don't need all this crap..
She does it for money...and because the continent is finally finding some respect for the native ways...its not real though...only a native or some who has been treated like one could understand. For her, its all about fame and fortune..if she really was a native I would call her a sell out, she worships the money and put on the regalia to get more. That's my opinion, many winjuns are doing it now...winjun is my word I came up with to call this type of lemming ppl...its the new age wigga.
yeah, I hear ya. I have strong views and would like to end a lot of the struggle in my time on this planet.. heres why. Im not the only one with these kind of views.. : unsettlingamerica.wordpress.com/2011/09/16/cultural-appreciation-or-cultural-appropriation/
@@margaretaugust337 thank you for thoughtful comments. After all it's all about being thoughtful, respectful and empathetic - not about dictating other people what they can or can not wear or do. These type of responses that are attempting to distort the true meaning of what you're saying are simply dismissive; there's no valid input o reason behind it, except for trying to shut someone up.
