I do agree with the Native Americans. They have every right to be angry about the misrepresentation in society. According to the article, the feathers of the head dress were to be earned. Earned through fighting, or by chiefs protecting their people. They were also worn on special occasions. People running around in them for no special reason, is rude.

Native Americans go viral with web protest of celebrities in war bonnets.
This article is about Native Americans being offended by celebrities, and other nonnative people, wearing the Native American head dresses. The native Americans are using social media to express their frustration at the situation. Native American journalist Vincent Schilling is quoted saying "For decades, the only voice we had was to go out and hold up a sign and say we're frustrated. But now, for the first time, the native voice is being heard on social media." They're not only using this to express their frustration, but their anger, about the Native American misappropriation going on in the world. They are happy about finally being heard in the world.
