Welcome to the "Ya-Native" Podcast that dives deep into the disheartening world of fake online stores masquerading as proudly Native American-owned businesses. In this digital landscape, hundreds of such impostors compete with genuine enterprises, all while preying on unsuspecting customers seeking authentic Native American products.
Through this podcast, we embark on a journey of discovery and investigation, shining a light on the deceptive practices employed by these pseudo-Native American businesses. We reveal how a short investigation can unveil the truth about their origins and motives.
We firmly believe in an individual's right to earn a living, but when profit comes at the expense of vulnerable families and the exploitation of culture, it becomes unacceptable. We are committed to standing up against those who seek to profit from cultural appropriation and deception, especially when it directly affects those in need.
Join us in our mission to make a difference. By addressing these issues head-on and exposing the culprits, we can collectively work towards a fair and ethical marketplace for genuine Native American artisans and entrepreneurs. "Unmasking the Exploitative" is more than just a podcast; it's a call to action, an effort to protect and preserve the authenticity of Native American culture. Thank you for joining us in this crucial endeavor. Together, we can make a change for the better.
