Yo! Youth OutLook

“I think that the performance was good, but how Outkast used Native Americans in the performance wasn't even cool. That's not how you honor people's culture. Outkast is a cool group but Andre didn't have to do that. It's only a performance, I mean it didn't kill me, but the side effects that he put on other people's culture was bad."
-Isaiah Byrd-Harris, 13, Cherokee and Blackfoot

"I thought it was very discriminating to Native American because it was racist. You will never see a Native American dressed like that. I don't think they were honoring Native Americans, they were stereotyping them."
- Alexis McBride, 14, Sioux and Aleut

"I did not think it was okay when they had the drumming and the chanting. I thought it was very wrong when they had the teepee. I thought that was not gravy. I felt that they were not honoring the Native Americans at all!"
-Alivia Horton, 14, Dine (Navajo), Filipina, Black and
Mexican.

"I think the performance was good but they were not sharing the Native American culture. I thought that was wrong that they were using the Native American culture like they were making fun of it."
