Fashion designer Bethany Yellowtail denies ‘false allegation’ of artistic theft<\/div>\r\n

<\/P>\r\nOne of Indian Country’s most well-known fashion designers is under fire after unveiling a collection that bears striking similarities to another Native artist’s work.\r\n

<\/P>\r\nWith a new series of products, Bethany Yellowtail<\/a> sought to draw attention to “inspiring” Indigenous women from around the world. But controversy quickly arose on Thursday after Wakeah Jhane<\/a> pointed out that the commercial designs closely follows the work that she developed two years ago to support Native women and Native families impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic<\/a>.\r\n

<\/P>\r\n“White owned corporations stealing indigenous designs is offensive but an indigenous company stealing from a native artist is a whole new level of disrespect and does not uplift me as an indigenous artist in the slightest,” Jhane, an award-winning artist who is Comanche, Kiowa and Blackfeet, wrote in a widely-read post on social media<\/a>.\r\n
