I find it incredibly ironic that a corporation like @Yandy say they’re paying homage to Native women but don’t listen to actual Native women. We’ve been calling for the removal of the over 40 Native themed “sexy” & “seductress” costumes of Native women for sometime now.
@Yandy Over sexualizing Indigenous women furthers stereotypes of Native women. 4 out of 5 Native women have been victims of violence in their lifetime and your stereotypes of us don’t help those numbers, in fact, they make it worst. Your stereotyping perpetuate violence.
@Yandy You’ve never attempted to speak to Native women or reach out to Native women to talk about this. If you truly want to pay homage to Native women, why do you shut us out when we show up there? You’re so quick to call the police rather than talk.
@Yandy is trying to ignore all of this with the hopes it will all go away. That’s how much they value Native women, they pretend we don’t exist and treat us as a nuisance when we show up at their doorstep.
Thank you everyone for sharing this!! Thank you to @zoexrain for creating this petition. ✊🏽
