Why Not to Dress Native for Halloween

                                                                     History of Native American Clothing

The history of Native American clothing is very important. It is important because it is an old culture that should be appreciated more. “How did they make it and what is it made out of?” The primary material used by Native Americans in their clothing was made from animal hides. Generally they used the hides of the animals they hunted for food. Many tribes such as the Cherokee and Iroquois used deerskin. While the Plains Indians, who were bison hunters, used buffalo skin and the Inuit from Alaska used seal or caribou skin. Their tribe made every piece of clothing by hand and that’s why it’s so special.

 

                                                                    Why it’s Wrong to Dress Natvie for Halloween

 It’s very important to know why it’s bad to dress up in native culture for Halloween, so i’m gonna list some reasons, It is VERY racist, the natives feel like you’re mocking them, the company could get sued if a native saw the costume and reported it and the natives feel attacked and targeted. 

 

                                                                                               Ending

 It is very important to educate yourself on what you’re wearing for halloween, you might wanna ask yourself “is this costume offensive to a culture or a person?” if so you probably shouldn’t buy and pick a different costume so you can have fun and wear a costume and not make people feel uncomfortable or attacked. 

 

                                                                    People’s culture is NOT a costume!

Silverwood

One hot day we were packing for silverwood. We were going with my best friend’s family too. When it was time to leave we got into the car and started going on our 6 hour road trip to idaho.

   When we woke up it was time to get ready and go to silverwood, we got in the car and drove to silverwood, “Will you please braid my hair!” I said. “Fine!” my sister said.

    When we got there we found my friend and then we went on some water slides, it was so fun. Then I was scared to go on one water slide but then My friends dad, my friend and her brother and my brother and I all went on it together. I really felt like I was about to tip over because we went up on the walls of the slide,”AAAAHHH!” I sceamed. “That was fun!” I exclaimed after we got off. 

    Then we were all very hungry from all the water slides so we got some chicken strips, Nachos and fries. “That was so good!” I exclaimed. After we were done eating we went to the roller coaster part of silverwood we rode lots of roller coasters and me, my brothers and my mom went on some kids rides while my dad, my sister and my friend rode the giant wooden roller coaster.

   We got dippin dots for dessert and then it started to get dark so we went back to the hotel. 

   The heart of this story was that we all got to hangout and have fun even though it’s Corona time and I’m really lucky for that!
