Criticizing an Object Speech & Paper
Introduction
- Hook: According to the United States Census, in 2010, less than 2 percent of the entire population in the United States identified as Native American (US Census Bureau, 2014).
- Less than 2 percent of over 300 million people in the United States is quite a small and shocking number considering that Native Americans used to be the predominant group in this country at one point.
- Tie to the audience: Unfortunately, many of us have heard that the cultures, languages, and symbols of many original Native American tribes have slowly been dying off.
- Another sad reality is that mainstream America has often taken Native American symbols and objects and commercialized them while stripping those objects of their significant cultural meanings.
- One of the objects that comes from Native American cultures that will be central to this speech is the Native American moccasin; sadly, many stores sell moccasins and make them commercial products to be sold and bought to maximize corporate profit.
III. Thesis: In this speech I will argue that the commercial use of moccasins strips the objects of their cultural histories and promotes a blind appropriation of cultural objects.
- Preview: I will present the following two arguments in this speech: first, the sale and buying of moccasins strips them of their cultural history and, second, this is promoting a blind appropriation of cultural objects in our society.
Body
- First, the use of moccasins as objects to be sold and bought strips them of their cultural history.
- In fact, James (2013) argued that although moccasins have become a fashion fad, “not many people know about their unique history within American culture” (para. 1).
- The term moccasin derives from the word “maskisina,” which meant shoe in the Cree tribe (Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, 2003).
- During the time of pre-colonization and during colonization, Native Americans made moccasins to survive the harsh weather and soil of the United States.
- They made moccasins out of deer and animal hides.
- What many people do not realize is that the decorations often depicted the natural environment where the tribes lived (James, 2013).
- Often, the bead work and manufacturing process was very different across the tribes.
- Tribes used moccasins as culturally significant objects. Unfortunately, stores and companies do not inform customers about the cultural history behind the moccasins.
- Second, the sale of moccasins promotes a blind appropriation of cultural objects in our society.
- According to Walsh and Lopes (2009) cultural appropriation occurs when one culture takes certain objects, tools, or symbols from another culture for profit, commercial use, or other unethical actions.
- The authors suggest that cultural appropriation is not always a negative thing.
- Sometimes, people can learn from other cultures and may gain access to use the other cultures’ symbols and objects.
- However, negative cultural appropriation occurs when the objects or symbols of other cultures are used without respecting or promoting the history of those groups.
- One example they provide is the use of Native American clothing, objects, or garments for profit.
- Knowing that Native American tribes are slowly disappearing, using their objects and garments for profit while ignoring the history of such groups is unethical cultural appropriation (Walsh & Lopes, 2009).
- The eventual consequence of cultural appropriation is that society is continuously blinded to the history of Native Americans.
Conclusion
- Summary of main points: In conclusion, I hope that you learned important lessons from this speech. I presented two arguments to show that the history of moccasins is not directly told and that blind cultural appropriation is happening in the commercial use of moccasins.
- Tie back to audience: I am not advocating that members in this class stop buying moccasins entirely. However, my argument is simply that the commercial sale and buying of moccasins may be stripping us of important history and knowledge about the Native American object.
- Final appeal: I want to leave you with the final challenge of asking yourself whether you may be using cultural objects from groups without truly investing time in learning where those objects come from and what they may represent.
