These images come from photographer Thosh Collins's Facebook page. Here's what Thosh (Pima/Osage/Seneca-Cayuga) had to say about them:
"So I went to the West Hollywood street fair for the Halloween thing and I knew there was gonna be a buncha people dressed up like 'Indians' for halloween so I tried to shoot candids of em but this is only half of what I saw. This says that Americans see Native People and their culture as something this is no longer present and that our image is up for grabs for anyone to misuse."
