" Free People are under fire today after being accused of appropriating Native American culture with their new festival campaign and collection. Twitter was, of course, super quick to pick up on the new campaign images which feature all manner of feathered headdresses, earrings and rain sticks.      Free people, your festival shop is a disgusting example of cultural appropriation. I&amp;#039;m offended!! pic.twitter.com/2Zk9ZFjyTL \u2014 Lucky Luciano (@Bossy_NoKelis) March 23, 2016         @FreePeople Way to get...um...cross-cultural? #creepy #appropriation pic.twitter.com/wg3Cxzj8wO \u2014 Samantha L. Dawson (@samleedawson) March 28, 2016    While some people have taken offence to the products themselves and the way in which they have been styled - The Frisky points out that the prices are pretty out-of-order, too. They write: &amp;quot;Naturally,\u00A0Free People, the store for people who want to pay a\u00A0fuckton\u00A0of money in order to look like people who purposely do\u00A0not spend a lot of money on clothing as a pointed rejection of capitalism and consumer culture, has got your back this year!&amp;quot; Ouch.\u00A0 Would you pay \u00A3208 for this feather headdress, cultural appropriation aside?  Or, how about \u00A3168 for this &amp;#039;Born To Be Wild Ear Cuff&amp;#039;?  This isn&amp;#039;t the first time Free People have been in trouble for appropriation either, having come under fire in 2014 for a dreadlock tutorial that featured no people of colour. Cultural appropriation has made the headlines a lot recently due to the likes of Justin Bieber wearing his hair in dreadlocks and celebs such as Khloe Kardashian wearing Native American headdresses in social media photos.
