Selling Native American Soul

After reading these articles, I started thinking about how much First Nations value their sacred rituals and ceremonies and how often they we are exposed by non natives, they sell their books, movies and paintings on how they may view our lives and not the reality of it all, I don't agree with anyone making any profit on our way of life, we are being exploited all for the sake of money. In this article they also mention Edward S. Curtis, who was known for taking picture and writing books based on his knowledge of the "indians" so who goes around carrying costumes to make his subjects look "Indian".
