Valerie Taliman posted the picture below on Facebook. She found these Native yard ornaments at Lowe's Home Improvement. Needless to say, they're stereotypical.

Please tell me this was at least at a store with a primarily Indian customer base. Otherwise: "Oh honey, don't forget to buy some minority figurines, they'll look great with the grass." WT...?

I think Valerie lives in New Mexico, so there may be more Indians around than usual. But I don't know.
