Clarke Indians' "Tribal Family" poster
Girls High School Basketball Team's Poster Is Very Good And Very Bad
By Nick MartinThe poster, taken from the Facebook page of KCCI’s Andy Garman, has attracted anger from Native Americans, who are rightfully calling the poster out for its blunt appropriation of Native American culture. (Sloppy too! The totem pole, war dance, and headdresses mix and match from traditions of widely varying tribes.)

Red Rock Tomahawk video game
Game review: Flick'em Up, Red Rock Tomahawk: Don't mess with the Native Americans
By Ryan MorgeneggFlick'em Up is a game all about the pieces. In the box, a gamer gets the added scenery of three forests, a totem pole, a red rock mountain and one tipi. There are five native American figures, two bows, six arrows, a Tomahawk, a Gatling gun and six bullets. Comment: Tipis, totem poles, and tomahawks in one setting? That's stereotypical.
By the time of the Gatling gun--1861 and after--Natives were using rifles as much as bows and arrows. The whole idea of modern soldiers fighting primitive warriors is stereotypical.

Black nationalist group Washitaw Nation distances itself from the Baton Rouge shooter, who had pledged allegiance to it
By Jaweed Kaleem and Jenny JarvieGavin Eugene Long was the killer. The empire was the Washitaw Nation, an "indigenous" black group that claims ownership over vast swaths of the United States and Canada and of which Washington is a top leader.
In May 2015 in Jackson County, Mo., Long filed court papers declaring allegiance to the group, which has been monitored by the FBI and tied to sovereign citizen movements. Comment: Another fake Indian tribe.
