They are paying homage to Indigenous Americans, not claiming they are indigenous Americans. Pay attention pretendians.

FBA take notes. We can appreciate the connections between Black and Indigenous Americans WITHOUT being anti-Indigenous or erasing Indigenous and Afro-Indigenous people

This isn't cultural appreciation because this is our culture. No we are not the original Natives however beadwork can be traced to Africa too. This amalgamation of cultures.

It also reminds me of some of the beadwork that I’ve seen in Africa. I think that we have brought along some of our tradition from the motherland as well. We have kept the beat work alive.
