Victoria's Secret apologizes for use of headdress

Victoria's Secret has apologized for putting a Native American-style headdress on a model for its annual fashion show, after the outfit was criticized as a display of ignorance toward tribal culture and history.

(Rollover) Senator elect, and famous American Indian Elizabeth Warren also decried the use of red savage costumery  by the white man.

They should apologize.

Mixing leopard skin with turquoise?!? Good grief, what were they thinking?

Hottest Indian I've ever seen. The Vic Secret one, not the rollover. :)

You are wondering wh we don't have a sense of humor. The pretender that the Dems voted in in both 2008 and last week is a huge joke. But no one is laughing.

Headdress? What headdress?

Isn't that cross dressing? One victim groups outrage is another victim groups victory.

"Mixing leopard skin with turquoise?!?"

Kinda like vodka and coke.

Here in Southern Md. we have several families of light skinned africans who have claimed for years that they are part Cherokee . Recently the real Cherokee tribe voted to kick the africans out , kinda fun to watch . It must really suck to be a minority kicked out by another group of minorities . One thing is certain they have a huge chip on their shoulder , and they smell blood in the water. They want to drive the stake into whiteys heart . I am friends with one on FB , and his political posts are ignorant , un-informed , and never ending . They too realize that we are at a tipping point . SMIBSID

I see two unattractive women - one used 'indian' to get a job, and the other must have used an indian costume to escape from a concentration camp. Don't know how she managed that with heels up to her knees. What's with all the celebrity bitches and models with the anorexic look, big jaw, no hips, bolt-ons and carp lips? We used to call them spinsters. Now they're 'beauties' and 'sex symbols'. Sorry. I don't want to get splinters from lovin' my woman.
Anyhow, I'm worn out from Statists getting passes for the very things they use to hand Conservatives their asses.

Native American were clan / tribal societies that, unlike Hollywood Indians, did not enjoy taking casualties. When they did, they often adopted likely captives into the tribe to replace lost relatives. For example, Quanah Parker, the last great Comanche war chief, was the son of a captive white woman who embraced the tribe and refused to return to her Texas relatives. Those African Americans from Maryland could have been descended from adoptive members of the tribe but the tribe would have some record of it.

Well there are a couple of other felines that were native to the South Western parts of the US that had spots.
She needs to send that fur in for analysis.
She can wait in my apartment while she scarfs down my skillet chili fries.

SMIBSID: They certainly weren't Cherokee.

They were the slaves the Cherokee owned before Jackson illegally seized their plantations in the south.

It was all about casino money. If this group was upset about slavery, the last thing they should want is to be identified with their former masters.

so now "Homage" = "Outrage"

We should just ignore and not mention them like they're embareassing relatives we keep locked in the attic?

That seems odd....

It is true that, if a captive was not adopted, their next best option was to be enslaved. But don't we want the descendents of slaves of non-Native Americans to identify with the USA? And eventually, I might add, vote on their personal ethos, not their racial one.

Freddie: Some of those "captives" weren't.

A lot of women who were considered "kidnapped" had joined those tribes voluntarily.

The Five Civilized Tribes were matriarchal, and they probably got a better deal there once they learned the language.

Sorry, Kristophr, but how does a 18th or 19th woman join a tribe voluntarily? Most were captured first, then adopted and then so identified with their new family and / or religion that they refused repatriation if later offered. This was the case of the early New England Unredeemed Captive, Eunice Williams and Cynthia Ann Parker, the Texican mother of Quanah.

There were instances of some of those women running back after "rescue".

Most of this happened in the 17th and 18th Century, BTW.

Seriously ... treatment of women back then WAS pretty awful.

Kristophr said...

I'm sure historians at the time felt that the reason these women wanted to stay was some kind of mental issue ... but no one wanted to see the elephant in the room: in some of those eastern tribes, the women were completely in charge.
