All the money in #Arizona cannot buy authentic culture in #Scottsdale #Arizona yet dozens of real native communities survive and exist alongside this colonial embarrassment of an outpost that still caricaturizes and commoditizes real existing indigenous cultures and peoples. It reminds me of how the National Park Service had no qualms forcing Havasupai out of their Settlements in Grand Canyon Village, the ORIGINAL Stewards, but exhibited the uncanny desire to see the Grand Canyon as pristine untouched wilderness that needed to be saved...but saw no value in fighting for, protecting and preserving a culture that has thrived in the Grand Canyon probably for at least 1,000 years!? I could go on all day about how angry I am against the Western Vulture, but then I'll just continue to get more pissed! I'll post some more Cigar Chiefs guarding the White Man's Southwestern Trinkets here soon! 😬 . #cigarchief #woodenindian #native #nativeamerican #indigenous #nativelands #illegaloccupation #unitedstatesofamerica (at Scottsdale, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmhoRyeSEkH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
