“Hearing LDR [Lana Del Rey] talk about living in a trailer park is like hearing Hannah Horvath complain about how broke she is because she can’t get a job as an essayist. In the immortal words of Jarvis Cocker, “if you called your dad, he could stop it all.” I’d respect LDR a lot more if she owned and engaged with her privilege instead of making up some ridiculous Horatio Alger origin story.”— http://www.thegloss.com/2012/10/10/culture/youtube-lana-del-rey-grant-internet-buzz-hate-573/#ixzz2OSjbulHI

Okay. No. This is the second big-name musician in less than a month to abuse a war bonnet.
Every single time it happens it’s all that pops up in #Native American for like a week and I’m sick of it.
Here’s why it’s wrong that she wore it:
- But Why Can’t I Wear a Hipster Headdress?
- My Identity Is Not A Costume for You To Wear!
- On why prancing around in a headdress and war paint isn’t ~appreciating~ “native culture”
- An Open Letter to Non-Natives in Headdresses
- Redface!- The History of Racist American Indian Stereotypes
