1. fyeahcap: ihavethisblog: native-things: lettersfromlovely: So A. posted a thing about Miss Universe national costumes and I made the mistake of looking up the 2011 contestants. I have no idea what Miss Canada Chelsae Durocher’s background is nor does a quick google search yield anything, and I’m certainly not an expert on cultural appropriation or indigenous struggles but… a war bonnet? On a woman? In a beauty pageant? As a “National Costume”? “National”? “Costume”? Really? wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow How about a war bonnet and whatever that design on her dress is supposed to be as a “national costume”? Yikes. i’m judging you, miss durocher. The inaccuracies are painful. Of course, the effect is enhanced by the treatment that the First Nations get at the hands of the Canadian government.
