No Pretendigenous — Identity Is Not a Costume | Indigenous Statement

Description

🚫 100% NO PRETENDIGENOUS!

Culture is not a costume. Identity is not something you can claim for convenience.

Make a bold statement with our No Pretendigenous design, featuring a striking red prohibition symbol, colourful Indigenous-inspired geometric patterns, and powerful lettering.

Inspired by the term Pretendian, Pretendigenous takes the conversation further by addressing false claims to First Nations, Métis, and Inuit identities.

Whether it’s Halloween costumes, cultural appropriation, or individuals falsely claiming Indigenous identity for personal gain, the message is clear:

IDENTITY IS NOT A COSTUME.
