1. Dreamcatchers , because nothing communicates to society that youve got both cultural and economical capital like a inauthentic dreamcatcher dangling from the rearview mirror of your Mercedes.
2. When we remind their GOP relatives that English is also a foreign language .
3. Spirit animals are you the wolverine?
4. Casinos , though there is a troubling number of non-Natives capitalizing on Indian casinos.
5. Our luscious locks. I wish I had your hair! is something a white person should never utter to a Native American.
6. Jason Momoa , thats if piercing eyes, a fit body and a manly disposition is your thing. Pfft. 
7. When we remind their bigoted cousins that they, in fact, are the descendants of illegal immigrants. (Note: I wholeheartedly disagree with the part of this meme which refers to the indigenous peoples of the south as immigrants.)8. Those colorful costumes! (Um. No. The term regalia is more appropriate here, folks.)
9. Our soothing flute music , which, thanks to more cultural appropriation, is now called "meditation sound therapy."
10. Indigenous names , because lets face it: Wilma Mankiller , the first female Chief of the Cherokees, has the best and most appropriate name out there today.Tags

I posted this to go along with Kavika's article.
A reference to scalping. Buahahaha. Never thought of it that way. Maybe one could say, "If I had hair, I would like it to be just like yours"? Would that work???
How about, "If I could have chosen my hair, I would have chosen yours?" Maybe?
Or perhaps, "Your hair is beautiful! You look lovely!"
I like to hang wind chimes in my trees, because that is what Grandpa told me his mother told him to do. He said it was the spirits of my ancestors, telling me good things. So, when it storms out, the bells ring and I feel comforted.
Good list Grump. The dreamcatcher is classic.
Your suggestion on hair would work for me Grump.
