Halloween costumes depicting Indigenous women and girls in costume at a Regina store had warning labels thanks to some local activists.
Spirit Halloween in Regina is selling costumes such as ’Reservation Royalty’, ’Native American Princess’ and ’Wolf Dancer’. There are similar costumes for both women and girls.
“It’s precisely these types of images that normalize the sexualization of Indigenous women and lay the foundation for a culture that accepts the violence against Indigenous women,” said Chris Kortright who helped place the labels on the costumes.
