12019-02-19T23:14:42-08:00Anonymous726Powell River community members commemorated BC's centennial in 1958 by dressing up in costumes that reflected their imagination of how "Indians" and "pioneers" looked in the nineteenth century. This was a common practice in settler communities in Canada and the United States. Settlers “played Indian” for reasons that ranged from political protest to entertainment. The act of "playing Indian" expressed a settler sense of entitlement to the places that they or their ancestors had colonized. The costumes did not demonstrate meaningful relationship or engagement with Indigenous peoples or practices. Today, we understand these occasions to be forms of cultural appropriation.plain2019-05-01T22:27:08-07:009780774861250_PRMA_2411905-05-11Still ImagePowell River Historical Museum and Archivesɬaʔamɩn territory: Powell RiverAnonymous
