This is against a lot of religions and is also known as evil why not cover the reason why there haram or not allowed in Christianity if it’s so positive

Hi they're positive in Native American culture. Would love to hear your perspective on why it's haram or prohibited in Christianity.

Cultural appropriation? I mean, is that not what you are doing? I'm not native, but I respect natives, because these people are incredibly powerful, spiritually, physically, and mentally. These people know things we probably cannot even fathom. Yet, you have the brass to sit here, say they aren't decor, but then proceed to sell decorative versions of them? Its literally down below, you tagged the products. It seems like you're using their culture as a means to enrich yourself, are you not? If so, thats quite disrespectful and it shows you lack integrity & honor.

Is this not why they have information about the significance behind them on their website? I’m not sure if you saw, but they are also affiliated with a charity program to give back to the community using some of the earnings from their products. As far as I would like to believe, sounds like they are doing their part.

@@gabrielaramirez449 Its still technically cultural appropriation, even with the good intentions. Your making your own version of something that is not a natural part of your culture, and its decorative. Its not made by a native who truly has a deep understanding of the culture and the purpose of the item.

The most common form of cultural appropriation is seen on tattoos I know a very religious person from the catholic religion that is foccused only on her believes. She has a huge dream catcher tattooed on her torso. I can garantee you that she doesn't t even care what it means. She just likes to aprecio to be edgy and I bet that She thinks it is just pretty. For me it is a lack of respect to the native culture. If One has a symbol tattood on the body, it's meaning must be known at least. I AM a spiritualist and I bare no tattoos.

Cultural appropriation. That's quite hilarious. From your research, were you able to discern any kind of factual background on the dream catcher? 5:58 We are talking about an oral history. Filtered through an internet algorithm. How does a child interpret the stories of their grandparents? What do they pass down to their grandchildren? Google the electric universe and the Thunderbolts project. And don't forget the new chronology and the mud flood. It appears there could be more truth to our ancient myths than we even comprehend. It appears there were likely people who witnessed the beginning of time. A time when the stars became visible. And we had our first night and day. How many times were cities destroyed and rebuilt again? Our oral histories must reflect these events. And that's another thing our oral histories all across the planet have similarities. As if we all witnessed the same events. And may have been part of a global civilization. How much of our history is actually the history of the giants and long heads? These people seem to have died out with the dinosaurs.
