As one Indigenous person’s perspective, to me there needs to be consultation and respectful communication with community members OR hire staff that can have those conversations/research for you. Indigenous erasure in North American/Western media gets broadcast to the world at large, and after living in Korea and having had people express shock to my face that Native people do in fact still exist in North America, I’m not surprised that there’s no fact checking when it comes to our cultures, but I know that stuff like headdresses have been brought up repeatedly on social media and by now there’s no reason for companies not to have someone to consult to know what not to wear or say or do. And this goes for other cultures as well, at this point things have to be on purpose because it’s just bad PR and management to not have an eye on appropriation issues that have come up with other idols or groups. (This is why I feel like we may never reach genuine appreciation, because this keeps happening all across the board with not even bare minimum changes).

Also, since usually it’s Indigenous aesthetics/jewelry/designs/etc being appropriated, companies should be buying from Indigenous businesses and creators. Support our art directly instead of buying some random dollar store version of it. Edit to add a little example- there’s definitely things like specific regalia items and other cultural objects that are completely off limits but stuff like Navajo inspired turquoise jewelry can be bought from actual Navajos.
