Or she'll do it out of spite because more Natives will tell her to stop and just fuck right off with her white savior complex; we don't need to be saved. If she wanted to help, she'd confront stereotypes and focus on the promotion of Native media and awareness. She's just as racist as people who are, well, racist; she sees us as people who need her support as a white person and who cannot fight our own fights without her intervention, as a white person.
Normally, this shit is just hilarious, but she's outright attacking an artist who has not only gone out of their way to research Native culture after the fact, but also created an image, beforehand, expressing her interest and desire to learn more.
I would hate for her to come to pow wow and see all of the white and non-native people who are invited to dance and take part in the party. All of those horrible, horrible privileged folk, appropriating culture as they dance with us and walk away with those lessons.
It's just so, so fucking awful that people take an interest and want to learn more and as a result, contribute towards the conservation of Native culture. As much as a joke as New Zealand is right now, we also want to have that kind of integration within mainstream society, where just as easily can a mixed group of people can perform a haka together, we can all come together for pow wow, engage in pipe ceremonies, lay tobacco down as a gift. We don't want to be exclusionary, we want to be included with the mainstream and the rest of society. This outsider, this mayagwewinini only serves to exclude us. She cannot define or attack what she thinks is offensive to us.
eta: I love the replacement with doge, lmfao
