Word to the wise. I had no idea this was frowned upon or a micro-aggression of sorts until a Native American woman at my work presented on some common ways people appropriate their culture with phrases (low on the totem pole also one)
How Indigenous culture is appropriated when people declare their ‘spirit animals’
While the 'spirit animal' has evolved into American meme culture, it has strong roots in Indigenous tribes.www.yahoo.com
You all are evidently not watching the Morning Show. There's a whole "spirit animal" incident/controversy in season 2. I don't watch too much television (two kids under 4), but I'd recommend this series.Thank you for pointing this out to me! I will avoid using those terms in the future
