When I visited California and Nevada I came back to England disappointed that I hadn’t seen any sign of native Red Indians and their culture. Today I go shopping in drizzly Yorkshire and see not 1 but 3 Red Indians in all of their colourful glory.
They were playing what I assumed to be red Indian music outside the bus station. They made me smile and everyone around, what a lovely change.
What made me frown was in the toy section of a department store. An outfit that looks as if the child is on fire for goodness sake. I can still hardly believe that it was on sale and aimed at any market never mind impressionable children. Do we really want our children dressing as if they are on flames? Shame on those toy manufacturers, how long will it be before a child sets themself on fire because they have seen this ‘toy’?
