12 h, sep 4, 2019 y - Americans for Indian Opportunity Instagram Dior Campaign Statement

Description:

Americans for Indian Opportunity (AIO) deeply regrets its participation in the Dior campaign. We believed that we had an opportunity to reshape long-standing and damaging representations of Native peoples on an international scale.

That did not bear out as we had hoped and intended, especially in Dior's media and public relations campaign, in which we did not consult or have prior knowledge.

AlO takes responsibility for our actions and has much to learn from this unfortunate set of events. AlO will work with allies to address this situation through the practice of our core values of relationships, responsibility, reciprocity and redistribution, AlO will continue to bring a consciousness to the nonNative public about the reality of Indigenous peoples today.

Thank you.

The Board of Directors of Americans for Indian Opportunity
