Native Americans object to use of White Buffalo at Dallas gas station





Summary
      There is a woman named Yolanda Blue Horse, and she feels uncomfortable of her culture and religion being used as an advertisement for products. In one of the cities, there was a white buffalo was genetically bred. Blue Horse feels that even though the animal was genetically bred, it is still one of their sacred animals and she feels that this animal should not be something to be shown to the crowd to earn money with. She wants the white buffalo to return to the nature.

Relevance to Lecture
       What I learned in class was that Native Americans sold everything but land and the life beings living on land. This showed how much the Americans cared about their nature, culture, and other living things on that land. Unfortunately, that led Europeans using force to gain the land. 

Opinion
       People have lots of things that they could use as a source of advertisement. There should be some respect of other cultures in multicultural countries. People care about their culture and religion, and they are not something that we can offend or use them as something to gain money with.

  5. Hello Christopher! I agree with your statement made up there. Freedom is something that needs to be respected and the cultures are not made just to observe.
