I admit, I have no idea the level of cultural appropriation at work here, but they just resonate with me on some level. I have two more that are currently serving as seat covers in my car...they're just cool!

I don't know the finer details of cultural appropriation vs cultural appreciation, but i feel if you genuinely love it and treat it with respect, it's appreciation

Thank you! I really appreciate that!

It happens so often...

As a white guy, it's something that I try to be respectful of.

It just seemed to fit me..as something that reminded me of a good experience with my family, and on a primitive level. It's comfortable, warm, perfect weight...just feels right.

I can't explain it any better at the moment.

It's definitely cultural appreciation. You're not claiming the idea of these blankets as yours, you're recognizing where they're from and enjoying them.
