Glastonbury In Native American Headdress Ruling

Traders at next year's Glastonbury Festival have been forbidden from selling Native American headdresses following an online petition.

The headwear is often worn by revellers at summer festivals all over the world and has controversially become something of a fashion item.

The campaign was launched on Change.org by Daniel W Round who argues that wearing the headdress is "offensive and disrespectful".

"A concerning trend has become increasingly prevalent over the past few years at Glastonbury and other music festivals – that of the wearing of Native American-style headdresses.

"This summer in particular, I noticed far more festival-goers wearing the headdress as an item of fashion than at previous events - hence this petition," he wrote.

"There has long been consensus among indigenous civil rights activists in North America about the wearing of headdresses by non-Natives – that it is an offensive and disrespectful form of cultural appropriation, that it homogenises diverse indigenous peoples, and that it perpetuates damaging, archaic and racist stereotypes."

Now organisers have added the headdress to a list of things stalls at the event must not sell unless they have prior authorisation.

"From next year, alongside candle flares and flags, Native American style headdresses will not be on sale at Glasto stalls."
