HelpRe: Dakota.. Cultural Appropriation?
in reply to a message by Glitzy Cate
I'm in between when it comes to the topic, I can understand the general idea and why people might feel offended but names can have so many derivations and spelling variations it's hard to really assign them to one culture.
Lilo, Kai, Kaia, Hana, Malia, Kane, Zuni are all names that are part of my culture too and how would someone know that Mohave is not a compound name of Mo and Have both names that exist in my culture? This isn't ment to be dismissive I understand the debate and agree that it makes sense with other aspects but I can’t understand how someone would expand it to something as fluid as names too.
