Gov. Fallin's Daughter Defends Headdress Photo - News9.com - Oklahoma City, OK - News, Weather, Video and Sports | ![]() As Governor of a State that has a rather Large population of Natives well I was actually surprise to read her so called "apology letter" did not address anything... Ok I was not really surprised she has shown that she can care one whit about Natives we did not vote her in so....

Is that photo a selfie? People just don't think, and apparently, her governor mama didn't think either.

I love that in the letter she assumes a relationship\connection to natives....Hey Fallin, buying weed from an NDN doesn't make you an honorary native, k?

"But my street is named after a tribe, and so's my car, so that means I can totally wear a sexy headdress right?"

I think that photo of this girl looks disgusting, silly and dumb. At least that's how I view it.

"Please forgive us if we innocently adorn ourselves with your beautiful things. We do so with the utmost respect. We hold a sincere reverence for and genuine spiritual connection to Native American values."
That sentence is sickening. I am not native. I am white. I am educated enough to know that the act of "innocently adorning one's self" with a sacred cultural object; a symbolic piece of a culture that has repeatedly survived attempts of genocide by (Her) people and referring to it as a "beautiful thing" is anything but respectful. She is a pig-headed, privileged, self-important little girl. The most hypocritical, ignorant statement she could make. All she's doing is further proving her own stupidity. She's disgusting. I hope that "Dear Christina" letter is posted all of the internet for everyone to see. These people... I'm ashamed. |

I'm not defending her ! I'm just asking Where do we draw the line ? At Religion ? How many of you claim to be Christians ? How many have a crucifix in their car or hanging on the wall in their homes? How many celebrate Christmas? Anybody have their kids baptized ? Clothing ? Well , that cowgirl dance kinda blows that one. Plus , I ride horses "cowboy" style. I wear boots , ride in a saddle....where'd we get that from ? We , as a people , have appropriated so many things , from so many other cultures , Where do you draw the line? Language ? How many of you speak your language. I know some do , but I don't. Does that make me less Cheyenne ? For that matter , how many can speak more than 3 languages ?
I don't like it either and I certainly don't condone what she's done , or all the others that have done the same thing recently , nor do I approve of the mascot issue. But there comes a point where we , as a people , draw that line. But how can we do that ? If we jump up and down and scream and holler about someone videotaping a duck & dive , or someone records a whistle , then I guess we shouldn't bring those things out in public ! And yet they have been brought out and there is nothing we can do about it....is there? Just thinking about this makes my head hurt ! What gives us the right to their things ?

The fact that she wore a fake headdress is funny enough considering the Beadwork was probably made in China. Certainly is a common design I have seen on those from Crazy Crow that is Certainly from China. That's is Ironic enough to get the Blogs buzzing!! But I digress: No its the "Apology Letter" Its after the fact that she realizes that this kind of blew up in her face And the Knucklehead that wrote it for her as if we are Children That is what is really a slap in the Face. It rolls back to her Mom who is Governor and not exactly a Champion of Natives in Oklahoma I would say that the Governor is downright Passive Aggressive towards Natives and certainly was not a Friend to the ILLEGAL ADOPTIONS that occur to Native Children going to the Adoption Agencies in say South Carolina but that is another fish to fry No I call it what it is A BIG OLE ***** SLAP TO THE FACE Cowboy hats is not Culture Crosses and Pope stuff is sold as Tourist Trash at the Vatican But if those Feathers had been REAL This would not be an Issue in Blogs and Forums, but in a Court of Law This girl was raised in a State that has a Huge Native Population, Just a Hour and half west down Highway 9 from Tecumseh (Fallin's Hometown)in Anadarko Oklahoma. The Kiowa Black Leggins holds there Dance every year and that picture that I posted above is from that Dance, they are doing the Scalp Dance and those women are Culturally Allowed to wear those. So if she had been around Natives as she says then she should have known that it would cause a Stir. Unless that is exactly what she was looking for and then in that case she is a bigger Putz than I originally thought...
