I love this blog, but I was really shocked to see this. I am Ojibwe, and I also think this is pretty offensive. I refuse to speak as the voice of all American Indian people, because we are all different, but I think this post should be removed.

In every entry on this blog, women are instantly commenting on safety issues of random pictures, and square chair legs. But so many of you fail to see the harm that can come from the perpetuation a stereotype that is still okay in most people's eyes.

I am not normally the "easily offended" type, but in a blog that really values parenting and good taste, I don't think this post has a place.

And it's TIPI. Not teepee. And not all American Indian people lived in them. Just the fact that you think it's not racist to stick those figurines on a cake, shows how socially acceptable it is to be racist against Native peoples.
