Does anyone know the contingent or groups name who wore the headresses’s during WorldPride? We’ve reached out to Heritage of Pride Staff about this and they need the group name of the marchers who did this?

At WorldPride|Stonewall 50 the Two Spirit Indigenous People’s Association marched along with millions of others celebrating the diversity of the LGBTQIA2S community. Many of our participants marched in regalia representing our unique cultures. However, during the parade we encountered a group of people wearing fuchsia war bonnets and imitation regalia. These participants had no connection to any Indigenous nation and wore the regalia as a costume. These racist caricatures ...dehumanize Indigenous peoples. Thus, we call on the WorldPride organizers to address the appropriation of Indigenous cultures by prohibiting the use of Indigenous costumes by non-Native participants, and by affirming the rights of Indigenous peoples to participate free from those who would exploit our heritage for selfish purposes. Our culture is not a costume. By: Joseph M. Pierce See more
