Wanting To Be Indian: When Spiritual Searching Turns into Cultural Theft - By Myke Jo

[Kaaron]

Does the problem of "appropriation" stem from trying to assign the traits of love, to a set of beliefs and call it a culture?
*I mean...we seem to hold onto, what is essentially a way of being and get caught up in dogma, more than actually LIVING the principles found within it.
Is culture an attempt to use symbols and metaphors as stepping stones to truth?
If so, how do you protect that?
Spreading the knowledge.

I'm afraid the powers that be are just experiencing the natural consequences of holding too much power, for too long.
It requires no "protecting"...only perspectives.
