Cartoonists have been forbidden in our area newspapers from showing blacks in Africa in African garb. That’s ‘racist.’
Ergo it's the fault of old white males. < /sarc >
One time when I was TDY in the mid 70s from Croughton to a little place on the east coast called Cold Blow, I stayed at an inn that had a collection of 1940s-50s National Geographic issues in the room. I spent quite a good while looking through them.

No one will care if it’s cultural malappropriation of Laplandish culture because they are white.
You are Privileged to work hard, and pay your way, so other’s do not have to.
Been boycotting them since they went all Al Gore a few years ago. Sadly many of my favorite magazine titles have had to go because of their desire to shove politics in my face these days. Thankfully Family Handyman has kept their senses.

I will not pay money for my own dispossession.
There is a whole lot of stuff in the National Geographic that has nothing to do with geography. It is largely environmentalist propaganda now.
If you are over 50, I agree with you. At 56, no longer do I exist, but it seems that all remnants of me are being taken away daily.
But the Sami are a minority and are protected under the international conventions of indigenous peoples.
The UN will send you a sternly worded letter.
Let them eat tacos!
I quit National Geographic when they got into the promoting human produced global warming business.
