This is an interesting conversation, and I have a very sincere question. I have tried to research it a little, and my very minimal research tells me one thing, but I want to put it to the Hive. One of my book clubs is for the BFG, and I am looking at a related craft. Would it be inappropriate cultural appropriation if we make a dreamcatcher and talk about how the Lakota (?) have this belief and practice, using the BFG as a jumping off point? (Kind of as a crafty-aside--not the point of the club at all.).
My research tells me it's okay as long as you don't profit from it or do it disrespectfully.
I am here to learn.
