Dr. Adrienne Keene is part Cherokee, part ivy-league scholar, and part superwoman.<\/p>\n
She\u2019s starting as a professor in American Studies at Brown University and runs a blog that we’re all looking at called Native Appropriations<\/a>.<\/p>\n The blog has been around for a hot minute and it\u2019s full of Native positive representations, contemporary designers and art. Adrienne also talks pop culture\u2013\u2013like when a movie or piece of clothing dances the line between cultural admiration and appropriation\u2013\u2013and other topics related to contemporary indigenous peeps. She also talks about when big brands actually get things right, for once \u2013 like when Nike collaborative with Native American designer Dwayne Manuel.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I got randomly selected from the precheck line for the full body pat down everything…wonder if it had anything to do w\/my shirt? \ud83e\udd14 pic.twitter.com\/G92JLIKQsv<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Dr. Adrienne Keene (@NativeApprops) February 8, 2017<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
