If he did that today it would be called "cultural appropriation" and his reputation would be trashed. But thankfully he did it years ago so we've still got a chance to hear this sort of rare music.
- IanHalbwachs 3y agoHis mother was First Nations
- slac 3y agoHis mother was Cayuga and Mohawk. I fail to understand why he would be accused of cultural appropriation? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robbie_Robertson https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robbie_Robertson

- windowshopping 3y agoOkay, but he was, so.... this comment is pretty empty. And even if he wasn't, he made this music in collaboration with First Nations musicians. I don't think there's a taboo against people working with each other who aren't of the same ethnic background. Cultural appropriation accusations usually come up when someone who has nothing to do with a certain ethnic background starts drawing on it for something - and even then those accusations are often pretty empty.
