Embarrassing

This photographer thinks it’s ok to use cultural appropriation for her photos. She is absolutely tactless and thinks dressing white people in fake “indigenous clothing” is ok. Shame on you .

Disgusting use of Native Culture

Vanessa should really think about how she uses a person's culture in her photography. As a native, I find her use of my culture disgusting.

Tone deaf and not aware

Native American photography was such a dumb racist and tone deaf idea. Do better.

Racist Photographer

My indigenous culture is a costume to absolutely no one. This is unacceptable behavior. You and anyone who supports you should be ashamed.

Disrespectful

As a Native American, the fact that there is an option for NON-Natives to TRY & dress/look like us is repulsive, disgusting & beyond disrespectful. Our customs, traditions, how we look/dress is NOT for others to play dress up! Get an education & learn some respect!

Pure ignorance

Culture appropriation, Native American culture should not be “theme” of any kind.

Culture appropriation

Our regalia is not something that you could use for your aesthetic. Those are handmade and tell stories, tons of hard work it put into them. Just because it reminds you of your pony, doesn’t make it right! This is disgusting.

Ignorant, culture appropriation

This photographer thinks it is perfectly fine to appropriate culture in the most heinous way. Obviously she is ignorant to other cultures feelings and beliefs. Will never recommend.

Culture appropriation

This photographer has shown her ignorance by using cheap tacky store bought head dresses and native costumes which was inspired by her horse which reminds her of a “good Indian pony”. Ma’am Native American regalia is earned and hand made to tell a personal story and is sacred to many tribes and not to be used for your sick fantasies. Do not book this person.
