It has never been OK to wear a faux indigenous headdress at music festivals. And yet, people keep wearing faux indigenous headdresses at music festivals. But now - finally - some Canadian music festivals are officially cracking down on cultural appropriation, banning the so- called Hipster Headdress. The Osheaga Music and Arts Festival, which runs July 31 to Aug. 3, has included First Nations headdresses and other feather headdresses on its list of items not allowed on the festival site, alongside fireworks, drones and weapons. The Edmonton Folk Music Festival, which runs Aug. 6- 9, is also banning headdresses. The Calgary Folk Music Festival, which kicks off Thursday, isn't banning them per se, but executive director Debbi Salmonsen wrote a Facebook post saying the festival will " trust our inclusive, diverse and intelligent audience to be respectful, and we trust them to make appropriate choices." The Winnipeg Folk Festival will also be asking patrons not to wear headdresses to future festivals after Den� Sinclair took to Twitter to encourage the WFF to adopt a no- headdresses policy after she spotted a white woman wearing a headdress at this year's event. Sinclair tweeted that she was " shocked and upset that the @ Winnipegfolk festival would allow someone in wearing a full headdress and face paint." It is shocking and upsetting, and it's important we understand why. Headdresses are sacred, spiritual, ceremonial items to be treated with reverence, not to be massproduced by fast- fashion retailers such as H& M - as in 2013 - as part of their festival fashion collections. As Chelsea Vowel, a Montreal- based M�tis educator who blogs as �pihtawikosis�n points out, headdresses are restricted items - not unlike military medals or bachelor degrees. She notes faux indigenous headdresses often imitate those worn by various Plains nations - so, in other words, they are a hodgepodge stereotype. And it's usually men within those nations who have earned them. " So unless you are a native male from a Plains nation who has earned a headdress, or you have been given permission to wear one ( sort of like being presented with an honorary degree)," she writes, " then you will have a very difficult time making a case for how wearing one is anything other than disrespectful, now that you know these things." Listening to someone's concerns - and then respecting them - isn't that big of an ask. But people tend to get defensive when it comes to matters of cultural appropriation. It's not a particularly comfortable thing, to be called out on behaviour that might be hurting someone else - especially if you " didn't mean" to hurt someone else. Or if you " don't find it offensive." Or if you're " showing appreciation for someone's culture." It requires looking past yourself, and that takes some effort. It requires considering the fact aboriginal women's bodies have long been fetishized, sexualized and objectified, and realizing that seeing a headdress on, say, a Victoria Secret model - as in 2012 - or on a bikini- clad woman at Coachella perpetuates dangerous, damaging ideas. It requires considering the fact indigenous people in this country have experienced a long, painful erosion of their culture, and realizing it's literally the least we can do to not turn a sacred item of dress into a cheap Halloween costume. There's been an awful lot of panic as of late about " PC culture" and how people who say/ do terrible things are currently having a more difficult time saying/ doing terrible things because of those over- sensitive social- justice warriors on the Internet. Some will undoubtedly argue music festivals adopting headdress bans is " political correctness run amok." But this isn't about being politically correct. It's about being respectful. It's about thinking a little harder before you open your mouth or, in this specific case, donning a cheap imitation of a headdress. And hey, if you really want to show your appreciation for indigenous culture, there are better ways to do it. You can buy First Nations- made moccasins, mukluks and jewelry. You can hang the work of First Nations artists on your walls. And, perhaps most importantly, you can take the time to learn more about the cultures from which those beautiful items come. jen. zoratti@ freepress. mb. ca No place for featherbrains at music festivals Cultural appropriation shows lack of respect JEN ZORATTI KRISTINA BUMPHREY / THE ASSOCIATED PRESS FILES Karlie Kloss wears a headdress during a rehearsal for a 2012 fashion show.
