Damn, that really was a wild ride. I hope I never accidentally purchase anything from MNOC grifters.
I am not indigenous (though I would apparently qualify for MNOC membership!) so my opinion on who is and is not is probably not worth the bits it is printed on. It does not seem to me that simply having a distant ancestor somewhere back in time gives you the right to make such a claim, especially if you did not grow up with related traditions to link you to it. A vague family story or 23&Me result does not change anything about your cultural identity.
If they want to cosplay, that’s disrespectful, but it’s whatever at the end of the day; they only humiliate themselves. But making money from it? That’s fucking scumbag behavior of the lowest sort.
In addition to the blatant racism displayed by their prominent members.

I suppose that is true, though if they had any shame they would not be doing what they are.
