Group Question #1
Selling native American culture is the act of taking iconic native American symbols and ideas and selling them for profit. It is passing off artificial as authentic; without understanding the context and the true meaning behind these things that are sacred to native Americans, you are just selling a generic, fast-food version of their culture. Selling cultural "items" to a mass market usually involves playing up stereotypes and can sell short what a group of people actually stand for and believe in.
