This is Not a Costume

Dance Exhibitions are BULLSHIT!!! MY CULTURE IS NOT FOR SALE!!!!!

Beautiful

haha... killer mullet.

I do the same thing, I do dance exhibitions to help keep our heritage alive. Keep up the good work!

If a military general in the U.S. military wears his uniform, do you call it a costume? No, it is the official dress code of that military. Does the Pope in the Vatican wear a "COSTUME", NO! It is the same with native culture, we dont wear "COSTUMES". we wear what is appropriate for our culture for dancing in the dance ring, to celebrate life in our own way. AHO!!!

Of course we all hate the way people come and stare and make comments, but the definition of the word costume includes what people daily dress is all over the world, not just as is commonly used like "halloween costume" or "costume for the stage". I have a background in Fashion and Costume, and it is an antique word almost in this sense, but it is correct. It is our modern misunderstanding of the word that's the problem. Still the rude jerks just don't get it, do they? We don't put on, we ARE.

Good job! I'm glad someone is doing something to spread our culture.

Thank you! That was wonderful, and the young man was very right! Be PROUD, and educate more people!
