RE: “Toy headdresses: racist and offensive” [Voices, Dec. 21] and “Political correctness run amok” [Voices, Jan. 4]:
A big part of the disinformation about aboriginal peoples of the Americas is that a large portion of the literature is written by another culture.
I live in California, and I have seen grown native men wearing headdresses. Headdresses and war bonnets are not part of aboriginal California culture, yet the fact that some California Indians wear them and believe that all native tribes did is a great example of the disinformation the written word has produced in this country.
Truth is out there; one just needs to search for it.
