Greta Van Fleet lead singer Josh Kiszka has acknowledged and apologized for appropriating Indigenous culture in onstage costumes dating back at least five years. Writing on Instagram, Kiszka said: “I’ve taken time to listen and gather my thoughts. My appreciation for Indigenous culture is bigger than myself. I recognize the harm that ignorance can have on marginalized communities, something I’d never want to perpetuate. Hate, disrespect, and prejudice of any kind are not welcome in this community. As I’ve come into adulthood, I’ve been able to grow and learn. This growth has not stopped and will not stop here.”

This shite is so tired. One person tweets their “outrage” and everyone involved falls all over themselves to apologize.

The following is from the comments, and something that seems common among “marginalized” peoples:

This is all crap and bullshite. For people to claim "cultural appropriation's" is utter nonsense. If you have ever lived near anything connected to Native American culture then you will see it in full force. The reproduce cheap knock offs of this supposed "Sacred shite" and sell it to tourists on a daily basis. They don't give a rats about any of it until they are not making a profit off it.

If the dude from the Village People is still alive, they need to hunt him down, too. We won’t even mention actors from 20th century cinema.
