- monocasa 4y agoI think indigenous groups are largely unhappy with how much their culture and practices have been commoditized and sold to those outside their group as it is.

- astrange 4y agoThey don’t actually really like being called Native American though. That’s kind of a white thing. There’s a reason Indian tribes are still called Indian tribes in the US and it’s because they’re fine with it. You just treat it as short for indigenous and you’re good.
- protomyth 4y agoThey don’t actually really like being called Native American though. That’s kind of a white thing. Well, that's a big lie. I grew up on a reservation, an Indian Service Area, and still work on a reservation. Native American, Indian, American Indian are all used. indigenous is the not a term originating with any tribe.
- astrange 4y agoI mean they don’t actually “really like” it, not they don’t “actually really” like it. They are not such enormous fans of the term that you should be going around telling people to use it over other ones. And white people (who think “Indian” is a slur) do go around telling people this.
- watwut 4y agoindigenous is general term used worldwide. Ir is not name, it is descriptor.
- bushbaba 4y agoAren’t Europeans, and many Asian ethnic groups considered an “indigenous group” of their home country. In such a case I don’t think say the Japanese are pissed off on the exportation of their culture through anime, etc. To make such a general statement seems weird. Given the diverse nature of such a large number of groups.
- doomrobo 4y agofwiw I think an important distinction is that you're talking about a majority group. It's probably different for the indigenous people that the Japanese Empire committed genocide against, like the Ainu
- II2II 4y agoMost of the indigenous people who I have met want to share their culture and are okay with earning a living by selling art that reflect their culture. They do not like it when others do the same, most likely due to a history of cultural misrepresentation, exploitation, and outright theft.
