Indians Costume

- Cowboy and Indian day costume ideas?
So I know it's politically incorrect but blame student council, not the school. I want to do the native American thing being that i am like a quarter native American, not that it shows on me. I do not own moccasins or those other things that people think that all the people who live in Arizona own (I'm serious, half of us hate the stereotype western thing and actually where only name brand things or if your like me, trip pants and band tee's). I do however own things for hair and earrings but I want more then that. What could I do for the day to earn 15 extra credit points in my 3rd hour? I'm Cherokee, I don't know what tribe though, and only like a quarter. I'm like over half Irish though so i don't do much with that part. When i meant stereotype i meant like all of us have like cowboy hats or boots or like clothes that are weterny (I know its not a real word but you understand what I mean.)

A This is a sick and stupid idea and you should protest to student council. It is offensive to native americans to see people dress up as a dumb stereotype of our culture. Wear modern dress. It's how us natives dress nowadays anyway. Tell them that. By the way, is your school having nazis and jews day? That would be keeping with the same spirit. You should suggest that to them. *****sarah has a good idea. Here's a picture of what we think of when you say "cowboys and indians". Copy it and show it to them. http://www.prairieedge.com/tribe-scribe/lakota-history-wounded-knee/ That's a photo of 200 dead women,children and infants. And those people standing over them are proud of what they did.

- Essentials For brides?
what are some essentials for brides?? eg:wedding bangles bracelets, earrings,Indian costume jewelry, embroidered purses,hair clips etc ANY TIPS AND TRICKS??

A The one essential I can give you is: Make certain you eat the day of your wedding. Have a bridesmaid or your mom pack a cooler with high protein and healthy snacks for you to eat during the day, because, believe it or not, sometimes you seriously do not have time to stop and eat. Fruit is great, protein bars, cheese sticks, granola bars, etc. Also, drink plenty of water. If you get dehydrated, you'll get a headache. Yes, you may have to go to the bathroom, and depending on your gown, may need help to do so, but don't let that stop you from keeping hydrated. I've dressed enough brides over the years and I've seen MANY pass out, simply because they didn't eat, or complain about their headache, and as soon as I'd hand over a bottle of water, about 30 minutes later she'd be fine.
