You think they can some Native American cultural content? I get there are many different tribes with their own cultures so it would be impossible to add everything; but there is some feedback and suggestions.Fry Bread recipeHopi kachina dollsJingle dress (often worn at Pow wows and for dancing)Adobe and Southwestern style houses and furnitureMaybe certain hairstyles (the Princess Leia wig can sort of work if turned into an actual hair style as it was most likely inspired by the Hopi).clothing and jewelry with bead work (if that is possible) or turquoises jewelrybolo ties which can be used by so many people in general, works well for sims living in Oasis SpringsPottery and woven rugs, baskets, etc....Even dream catchers that can be used in nurseries like mobiles are and maybe help keep monsters under the bed away (as they are meant to protect from nightmares, so it can add an extra bonus interaction similar to parents spraying the bed. I am sure others can help give some ideas or tell them what best to avoid (think stay away from warbonnets as they aren't something worn by everyone and have to be earned and things like that, so stick with more common traditional or neo-traditional items as that would be the best way to add things without causing problems); but it would be nice to at least see them try.

Some Native American and First Nations items are considered sacred and are not to be portrayed in such a trivial manner. This game is already too "Disney Princess" for words -- don't make it even worse and more offensive.

@Stdlr9 they had dream catchers and totems before in previous games. Maybe if EA did something simliar to what Disney did with Mona and discussed what could be added Native Americans by discussing it with different Native American tribes (hopefully including Northen ones like the Nunavut's)?

I remember the ts3 store had a "Native American" set many NA Simmers dislike it. The execution was poorly done. Plus it was based around Thanksgiving or breaking bread with the pilgrims which rubbed NA the wrong way.I think if they did it right it could be something we could have. My grandmother is NA and many friends o grew up with were and so was stepfather.

I’d like Native American content :) But it would have to be done with several tribes aproval and in a respectful way.

The idea corner is also a place to ask for and give suggestions for content. It does work sometimes. We just got content that's been repeatedly asked for. Nothing wrong with asking for content and getting support form others for your ideas.

So far I sent a tweet asking them about it, so I can see how that goes or maybe see if they can move this to the idea corner.

My mother was Native American. I would completely support this.

Agreed. I would like this as well. My grandmother was Apache so if they can do others than why not Native Americans.

And how do you know I'm not part First Nations or Native American? You don't. The attitude of "Waaah, if others can have items, why can't I?" sounds like 3-year-old. lol

Edited to add: please note that I said in my earlier comment that SOME items are sacred, not all. It varies among tribes and individual indigenous, so what is offensive to one might not be to another. Headdresses ("war bonnets," sheesh) are a perfect example.

I am also Native American and I would like to be represented as well, I happen to think it is a great idea, and hope that Native American items and new hair as well as clothes, jewelry get added in, with what We already have in the game, I have made characters and families for My game in My gallery, so it would be nice to be able to redo them or add in more to My gallery, :)

I'm not but my Cousin's Mother-in-law is. And with a new law that got passed recently in Canada, it means the Cousin's mother-in-law can passed down her Native to her husband (My cousin-in-law) and her granddaughter. So I would be interested in it as well.

I am Native American and as long as it's not a sacred item I would have no problem with Native American content I don't have to hunt for as CC. Every culture should be recognized in the game. Whether it's the pale Scandanavian or African with super dark skin and everybody in between. I find it offensive when companies go all "Disney Princess" or manage to to be extremely racist and offensive and insensitive towards other cultures. Especially when it's somebody who knows nothing of that culture.

Yeah I really hope they talk to experts about it first. Good point about sacred items.

I don’t mind a few of them but I wouldn’t want to see the Native American headdress being worn by everyone. It is a sacred item and only to be used by those deserving.
