We recently had a white religion dept. head who was *teaching* a unit (gr. 12 World Religion) on Native religion(s). (I am sure she didn't know the multitude of different practices/beliefs for different tribes).
She had the students come into class with their faces painted, had them bang on some drums, and eat some desserts in simulation of her perception of a pow wow.
yep.
