I'm glad to know you think increasing exposure of other cultures is so terrible. They spent a lot of time with this, and their designs were based off of meetings with indigenous consultants.

I think this hunt is a good way to spread awareness about indigenous people. Yes, there might be details that are missing or some aspects that you find untrue, but for those who barely know anything about native people, it’s still a way to at least earn some information about them.

I just find it offensive that my culture is being made into hipster avis

just..... No..... They did a really good job making sure to credit and get the information from the source

they even got a Two Spirted Person as well... mentioning indigenous people isn’t offensive 🙄 they’re getting some good representations here, not to mention not side stepping the fact that thanksgiving is not a fun loving holiday for indigenous people... thanksgiving is a settler holiday... and you know what settlers did to our people?

don’t just call touchy subjects offensive for Woke points 🙄

I'm part Native American myself, although I have admittedly never dressed up as one for Halloween. I am glad however to say that unlike you I have never used that as an excuse to be rude to the developers and players of this game. This is representative of a certain tribe, and just because it does not represent yours does not make it offensive. But you're right, how dare they make a hunt to raise awareness for the culture and charities that will support Native Americans into the future?

Maybe some insight into how you would orefer to be represented will provide them with useful feedback for the future. Instead of just saying in your opinion they look like hipsters.

There is no cookie cutter way a certain culture represents themselves. And this is a imaginative representation of people who are trying to be respectful and sought after guidance from indigenous artists.

Usually when people dress up as "Native" for Halloween, they are portraying a highly exaggerated and stereotypical idea of what a Native person looks like. This is not an accurate depiction of a Native person and it further pronounces the great misinformation surrounding Native peoples and their cultures. Going and buying a $14.99 outfit called "Sexy Pocahontas" isn't really respectful especially since the actual "Pocahontas" was a 12-year-old that was sexually abused but that's another can of worms.

It's another thing if you're invited to wear actual additional attire by a Native person, though. But that isn't even "dressing as Native" and more participating in their culture.
