[* Please note that some of the Native American oriented
products on these lists contain stereotypes and other
cultural inaccuracies that I do not endorse, but since
these items sometimes have great unintentional comedic
value and/or provide anthropological insight into the
dominant colonial society that produced them, I find it
amusing, ironic, and revelatory to analyze them.]
