My culture isn’t a fashion statement.

I am Native American (Cherokee Nation), and it is frustrating to see people appropriating ceremonial or traditional Native American accessories as fashion statements without knowing the historical background that they have. With that being said, it shows a lack of respect towards my race. It can be seen as harmless from an outside perspective, but if one were to wear something and not care to understand what it actually means, it is disrespectful, It could potentially lead that individual into some trouble.
