Victoria's Secret has apologized for putting a Native American-style headdress on a model for its annual fashion show, after the outfit was criticized as a display of ignorance toward tribal culture and history.
The company responded to the complaints over the weekend by saying it was sorry to have upset anyone and that it wouldn't include the outfit in the show's television broadcast next month, or in any marketing materials.

“Who only sometimes ate each other, warred on each other, and practiced slavery and human sacrifice?”
Some mutilated their fallen enemies bodies so they would be easier to fight in the “next world”.
She needum heap big plate cheeseburgers.
Good Point.....But Chief Crtooked Arrow Obama says we must bow to the bow.
Damn - that would look wicked hot on an actual woman
Maybe it was Teddy Roosevelt who said....IMOW...if it wasn't for us, the tribes would have killed each other off and would be no more.
Addendums to all current hate-crime legislation:
Any future wearing of beads or feathers anywhere on a (Caucasian, non-Hispanic) person’s body will be considered racist, and therefore assumed to be a hate crime.
Any assault or theft, or any other directly anti-person crime or perceived unpleasantness committed or suspected by any (Caucasian, non-Hispanic) person on any (non-Caucasian, or Hispanic Caucasian) person wearing beads or feathers anywhere on their body shall be considered a hate crime.
For the purposes of this legislation, hate crimes committed by Caucasians may be physical, vocal, or merely mental. Mental hate crimes committed by Caucasians, including the factor of mens rea, shall not need to be proved, and may be assumed.
For the purposes of this legislation, the terms “Caucasian” and “non-Caucasian” shall not be determined by scientifically proven genetic or genealogical analysis for either the claimant or the defendant, but shall be determined by any ad hoc panel of people who are deemed by the local and national media to be “in the right,” on the basis of their voting patterns and their abilities to scream about victimization the loudest and most persistently.

Needless to say, MP would be totally unPC nowadays.
Wow! That’s some sinister footwear there!
Or, as Don Imus said, "Wait, are you one of those muti-millionnaire indian Casino/Reservation groups? Yes? WELL SUCK IT UP, TONTO!!!"

I wonder, why is the headdress more offensive to indians than the navajo squash blossom necklace or concho belt?

I hope all those feathers fell from live birds — or else I will notify PETA.
Nah, she needs some meat on them bones... and I have just the thing...

Sadly, there are a dwindling number of us out here who know what your picture is from. The Huckawi are becoming a lost tribe.
The Native-Americans are probably right, I never saw a Native-American woman that looked that good.
She could use a few lbs. in the right spots, but she looks good.
How come the Native Americans never rejected the Indian in the Village People, Didn’t want to upset the fags?
I’m sure the Native American community embraced the gay indian from the Village people.
What headdress?
“Everyone used to love it back in the day when Cher donned the headdress.”
Yes, and she’s just a “half-breed”. That’s all she ever heard...how she learned to hate the word.
(sorry...chuckle)
