In-Approprite #1 (2013), the pointed title of this Pop-style painting by Native American artist Frank Buffalo Hyde, calls out the type of cultural appropriation sometimes perpetrated by celebrities in the name of fashion or riding a trend. Buffalo Hyde based his painting on No Doubt’s 2012 music video for “Looking Hot.”

In the video, singer Gwen Stefani dons a feather headdress and fringed buckskins, dances by a bonfire, and gets roped to a wall by white cowboys. After fierce backlash, the band pulled the video and issued an apology. The fight over cultural appropriation and commercialization, the artist explains, “can only be won when we own our own image.”
