Claw Necklace
What animal(s) is it disrespectful to use for jewelry?
I'm not sure I worded the question right, but this is what I mean:Lately I've been thinking of doing one of those classic animal tooth/claw sort of necklaces(planning to do one with an orca tooth). But I was wondering...In Native American culture, or any other for that matter, are there any animals that it's disrespectful to use for jewelry?
because the answer is different for every culture (including the hundreds of Native cultures), the most respectful thing to do would be to discover what is correct for your people. If you were wearing something of your culture, that my culture would find offensive, I would not be offended because it is the way of your people. But if you tried to make something of someone else's culture, that would be disrespectful.
