Help[Opinions] Re: Native American names (U.S. only)
in reply to a message by Raven Briar
A lot of people are focusing on my dreamcatcher example lol.
In this case they are using an authentic symbolic item in the manner that it was intended. A person hanging a plastic dreamcatcher in their car clearly doesn’t understand the significance or intention.
For further context, this is an item currently hanging in my house. It was made by an artist also named Rebecca Maracle (no relation) from my husband’s reservation. So I am not against owning these objects or supporting real artists. I’m not sure how to demonstrate tge difference I mean any better than I already have. Maybe somebody more articulate who has caught my drift could have a go.
