The Navajo Nation, composed of over 50 chapters, holds more land area than any other native tribe in the United States, spanning parts of Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico. This is a tribe rich with history and tradition, not to mention they function under their own government, and run a college and a museum on the reservation. Yet somehow, our legal system permits an entire culture to be reduced to a style of print. If the blatant and offensive appropriation isn't cringe worthy enough, perhaps the fact that Urban Outfitters spokesman felt no remorse will further the disdain for this case. According to NBC, Ed Looram stated "Like many other fashion brands, we interpret trends and will continue to do so for years to come. The Native American-inspired trend and specifically the term 'Navajo' have been cycling through fashion, fine art and design for the last few years." Who knew pointing out the wrongdoings of others is a valid way to justify your own?
