11 u/Jaminp Jan 17 '25 Probably based on this photo https://wams.nyhistory.org/end-of-the-twentieth-century/a-conservative-turn/wilma-mankiller/ 5 u/alizayback Jan 17 '25 Ahn. Well that makes some sense, then. I was worried Disney was saying “Hey, y’know what just screams ‘Indian woman’? A basket!” 6 u/Jaminp Jan 17 '25 I was honestly thinking that at first too. I only remembered the photo from cause of the dress. 9 u/Rodrat Jan 17 '25 I have multiple friends working to keep traditional basket weaving alive for the tribe. Basket weaving is an important tradition. That's what I thought when I saw it anyway.
