White People Using Feather Fans

Discussion/Question

Appropriation or not appropriation?

Albeit not eagle feathers thankfully, mostly seeing white people use turkey feathers in their fans.

Bonus question: tipis being used by white people in anishinabee land where tipis aren't used... 100% sus right?

The origin of these questions are I was originally planning on surveying French and Indian War reenactments in conjunction with a newspaper to ensure true historical accuracy and I was just looking at some of their Facebook postings and I already feel sus lol.
