🇳🇴🇳🇴🇳🇴This is cultural appropriation of Western tradition. Norwegian bunad represents centuries of Norwegian heritage, not a fashion accessory for social media.👇👇👇

My friend Abdi Mohamud had mentioned an urgent matter which is the misappropriation of Somali culture under the “East African “ banner: Somali culture is rich, vibrant, and distinct, with unique traditions ranging from the elegant Dirac dress to the lively baati parties and flavorful cuisine. However, there has been a growing trend of cultural appropriation where certain individuals and groups, particularly from neighboring East African countries like Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Ethiopia and Burundi, claim Somali cultural elements as part of a vague “East African” identity. This practice not only erases Somali heritage but also misattributes iconic Somali traditions, such as the Dirac and Alindi clothing, to unrelated cultures like those of the Arab world or India, despite these regions not wearing such garments in their traditional contexts. The Dirac, a flowing, colorful dress adorned by Somali women for special occasions, is a hallmark of Somali identity. Similarly, the Alindi, a traditional clothing, carries deep cultural significance. Yet, these garments are often mislabeled as “Arab” or “Indian” by those seeking to dilute their Somali origins. While Arab and Indian cultures have their own distinct clothing styles, they do not include the Dirac or Alindi, making such attributions inaccurate and dismissive of Somali craftsmanship and heritage. Somali cuisine, with its aromatic spices, unique dishes, and communal dining traditions, is another target of appropriation. Under the broad label of “East African cuisine,” Somali culinary contributions are often lumped together with those of other nations, ignoring their distinct preparation methods and cultural significance. This generalization strips away the specificity of Somali foodways, which are deeply tied to the nomadic and coastal heritage of the Somali people. Perhaps most striking is the hypocrisy in this cultural dynamic. Countries like Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, and Burundi rarely, if ever, share their own cultural practices with Somalis or acknowledge Somali influence in their traditions. Yet, they freely claim Somali cultural elements under the convenient umbrella of “East African” identity. This one-sided appropriation disregards the unique history, language, and traditions of the Somali people, who have maintained a distinct cultural identity despite regional proximity. This misappropriation is not just a misunderstanding but an act of erasure. By labeling Somali culture as broadly “East African” or attributing its elements to unrelated regions, the unique contributions of the Somali people are diminished. It’s time to recognize and respect Somali culture for what it is a vibrant, standalone heritage that deserves to be celebrated on its own terms, not subsumed under inaccurate or opportunistic labels.

For over a decade, tension has simmered between the ballroom community and RuPaul’s Drag Race. At the center of that friction are cultural appropriation, diluted terminology, and often poor voguing presented to mainstream audiences.

How does penalizing Netlfix, Apple, Spotify etc with 15% of their annual revenues for doing business in Canada protects Canadian culture industries and cultural sovereignty? Minister of Internal Trade and Canada-US Trade, Dominic LeBlanc "CRTC, in its independent discretion, made a decision about protecting Canadian cultural industries and Canada's cultural sovereignty." This is a result of a Liberal Bill. Funny hearing Liberals justify higher taxes with cultural sovereignty as they mass immigrated people in, ruining just that.

In March 2001, the Taliban perpetrated cultural genocide by destroying the Buddha statues in Bamyan, Salsal (180 ft), & Shamama (125 ft), built between 570 and 618 CE. This tragic loss of Afghanistan's cultural heritage is a stark reminder of the destructive power of extremism.

🚨 Brandon Gill said what millions are thinking and refuses to apologize. Americans want a country that stays American. Not malls full of burqas and people who don’t share our language, values, or culture. Mass Islamic migration must be stopped. America First means protecting the nation, not importing “cultural enrichment.” 🇺🇸

Dear Ethiopians, Somalis and Djiboutians On behalf of the Somali Regional State, I extend my profound congratulations on the historic inscription of "Xeer Ciise: Oral Customary Laws of Somali-Issa Communities" into UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage List. This momentous achievement is a beacon of pride for all of us, symbolizing the enduring legacy and rich cultural heritage of our people. The recognition by UNESCO not only elevates the status of our traditional laws but also underscores the global significance of our cultural practices. Xeer Ciise, a cornerstone of our social structure, has long been a guiding force for peace, justice, and community cohesion among the Somali-Issa. This acknowledgment by the international community reaffirms our commitment to preserving these invaluable traditions. Let this celebration be a reminder of our collective responsibility to nurture and safeguard our cultural heritage for future generations. It's an invitation to deepen our engagement with our customs, fostering a sense of unity and shared identity across our borders. May this recognition inspire us to continue our efforts in promoting dialogue, cultural exchange, and mutual respect among our communities, ensuring that our legacy, like Xeer Ciise, remains vibrant and alive. I would like to thanks all those who contributed to this process particularly the Sitty heritage foundation. Thanks to the team that represented the community and the three countries including Minister Dauud Aweys, Minister Hibo Moumin, Ambassador Mahlet Hailu, Ambassador Ayeid Mousseid, Dr Hussein Kasim, Warsan Awil, Ayan Ali, and Abdirahman Osman, With utmost respect and congratulations,
