Custer Had It Coming! Native American T-Shirts with Some Attitude

Source: Indian Country Today Media Network

Everyone knows the famous Homeland Security t-shirt — it’s a picture of Geronimo and three other Natives with the tagline “Fighting terrorism since 1492” — but it’s just one of many sly shirts that we’ve spotted on in-the-know Natives. In a way, wearing your tribal heritage — and the legacy of injustice toward your people — on your sleeve keeps history alive in our increasingly ahistorical age. There is irreverence here, and even jokes — but the humor packs the punch of truth.
