Harms claimed: This type of erasure undermines the abilities of Native and non-Native people to work together Romanticizing Indigenous culture [...] is harmful. It categorizes Indigenous people within the bounds of the stereotype [...] Obviously diversity is important and stereotyping is bad, but Apache is just a nation. It's like demonizing using "pangea" or "constantinople" for a street name. Obviously it wouldn't offend me if Apache took action to remediate, but I think the importance of the complaints in this article are overstated. At the risk of being guilty of cultural erasure, maybe it would be in the author's interest to be constructive about amplifying culture rather than destructive. This isn't about pedagogy amplifying some narrow view, it's barely even an homage, it's a positive view of history written hundreds of years ago. If you want to discredit that history, you'll have to be more specific.
