Indigenous Aesthetics and Fashion: Cultural Appropriation as a Trend?

This 45 min. lecture by Wendy Weston, accompanied by a Power Point presentation and followed by a roundtable discussion, will shed an informed light on the possible theories as to why Native American "chic" continues to cycle itself around as a true expression of Americana. An overview of jewelry styles of Native cultures and the significance of personal adornment to tribal people will also be presented and discussed.
