Canada is literally THE country that displaced the Indigenous people. Canada did them so dirty and youre telling me one of canadas women dressed like THAT?

Why does the outfit on the left look like those “Eskimo cutie” costumes from the 2000s?

Why can’t people just wear cool stuff? Head dresses are cool and I think we start limiting culture and creativity by reducing them to specific groups of people

That particular headdress, the war bonnet, has to be earned and is only worn by the respected leaders of tribes in the Great Plains region. Wearing it because it’s “cool” would be the equivalent of wearing a Medal of Honor as a pretty necklace

this part of the pageant apparently was to show canadian “culture” so in theory i get it, kind of….? 🫩 but i mean how ironic, in trying to paint some pretty idealized picture they actually just showed the real historical colonizer bs
