There's a reason legislatures have historically banned all native costumes.  I believe it has something to do with a melting pot....from many, one. @Sanguine



@Right_in_Virginia

You are right,but showing up in ceremonial dress for an official ceremony is different than showing up wearing a costume every day. She needs to be put in her place if she shows up for elected office dressed as an American Indian every day because that would be the same thing as stating she is not an American and is working against America.

Where you come from,your roots,can be an entirely different matter when it comes to where you "are" today. Recognize your origins while working to secure the present for all the people you represent.

BTW,posting a photo of Bubbette's miini-me sitting beside an enemy of America in uniform is NOT the same thing as showing a photo of an ORIGINAL AMERICAN posing and showing up at a formal government event wearing the attire of her ancestors who also happened to be American's BEFORE there was an America.

Islam and it's bird-brained slavish followers are ENEMIES of America. American Indians are not.

For example,imagine someone of German descent show up to be sworn in office wearing a Swastika and a Nazi uniform during WW-2. THAT is the equivalent of what that raghead in the photo you posted is doing.

Aren't Salish part of her constituency?  That is partly who she is representing.  If Greg Abbott shows up for his swearing in wearing a cowboy hat is that a bad thing?

In a way I agree with you.  It is however if they have an agenda because of it.  Like the Palestinian woman who wore her traditional garb.  She did it to make a point that she was Palestinian.  People either serve according to the Constitution or they are activists in office.  I think the Muslim will for sure be an activist for Palestinians in office.

It's a false equivalency.  "Palestinian" is antithetical to American ideals.  Salish is part of our ongoing history.

This is the State of Washington not Washington D.C. The state can decide how its elected officials dress.

Salish culture is American culture. This would be no different than if an Amish person wore their traditional outfit or if a representative from Hawaii wore a Lei.

Either one would be horrified to hear you even suggest such a thing.

You didn't get the memo, the term "Melting Pot" is now considered racist.  It's a "tossed salad", now.

Yet we permit priests and pastors to wear the traditional garb of those who serve a different kingdom.  :pondering:

She's wearing American garb. It is the rest of the people there who are wearing some knockoff of European clothing.

When I saw her picture I thought of F-Troop and the Indian tribe (We're the) "Hekawi".  Was she working with O'Rourke Enterprises to sell her "authentic" souvenirs to tourists.

Truthfully...when I first saw the pic...my first reaction was it's divisive.

But after reading this thread...it may not be bad.  It does have to do with American culture.

While the Village People have something in common with much of Washington D.C. :whistle:, I don't think a Salish Lady in ceremonial dress is significantly different from someone of European Descent wearing a (European Style) suit or Dress, with the exception, that her 'good clothes' are actually American in design.

That other stuff is just worked over eurotrash.

This is not the point @Sanguine ... Once one cultural/ethnic costume is permitted in American legislatures ... all must be. You don't get the luxury of picking and choosing.  This is one instance where it's none or all.  We've lived with none for 240 years, let's not bleep with it now....even if you happen to find it benign.

If you don't want Muslim garb .... then you can't accept Indian dress.

It's ....oh, what's that word .... ah yes, the *principle* needs to be upheld.

We are so screwed.  This is what diversity brings. AFRICANS?  BONE IN NOSE?  Grass skirts.  Scottish skirts?  Can the men wear Leder Hosen?  I saw a DRUM. DRUMMING. Are you guys kidding me?  Burka's.  Greek dress, with the pom poms and white hose.
