    Hmm, I don’t have institutional access, are you perchance able to screenshot (or snip tool) it? I’ve seen that it’s likely the Iroquois Confederation, but it’s hard to confirm it because…y’know, America never gave a shit about accurately recording/naming Indigenous organizations

        Never though I’d see Roosevelt called “Great White Father” that’s something else. the next year it was awarded to General MacArthur, and the year after that Eisenhower. I think “Red Men of America” was just a racist NYTimes thing, I haven’t found that to be the name of any organization.

        My favourite part is when the photographers tried to get this other dude to wear it what the heck. You can’t just slap those on for a photoshoot if they’re not yours.

        Edit: by favourite I hope it’s clear I mean this whole thing is so uncomfortable, right down to the very awkward way that they write about Indigenous people in this
