I would appreciate it if all of my friends who work hard to promote a positive image of our Native Cultures could call or e-mail Free People clothing. Their inspiration wall is beyond heinous and it breaks my heart in more ways than one. 

To me, this “wall of inspiration” hits too close to home. I see that wall of inspiration and it’s not just nameless Natives, although that shouldn’t matter, but I see my very own grandfather on that wall. My GRANDFATHER, and I can’t stand it. It’s too much. My grandfather worked SO HARD to try and help his people, to do whatever good he could for them in a truly trying time. 

This is not how I want my grandfather remembered. Please help me. I’m not strong enough to do it on my own or to deal with the idea of him becoming some sort of “fashion icon” — only a picture that no one will notice it, or know what he has done. That’s what hurts me the most. The Trivialization. 

PLEASE contact Free People clothing on their Contact page or send them a feedback message. Thank you for helping me:
