Campers and Tents

Well said Caro, John, Sasha and Abby! And thank you Sylvia for reminding us to think critically! I completely agree! We all have a responsibility to educate and role model where there are opportunities. And yes, fun game - I encourage "campers and tents" or even "campers and tent poles".

As for the comments about the relax...Mal we should never take stereotypes as 'lighthearted, good fun'. That only breeds more ignorance and intolerance - even if we think we are doing it in the spirit of fun. Think. Use your brains and critical thinking skills. Yes enjoy the game, but be responsible socially too. :) It's a great way to be the change in a world filled with intolerance and racism. :) Love the suggestions for alternate name - thank you!!! :)

Relax! Just enjoy the game for what it is.

Excellent game. Just change the name, please. I am a native person, and while I am tolerant to those who may be ignorant to some of the ways racism through stereotypes can be displayed in children's games and other ways in daily life, I think the name should be changed. I do not mean to offend by making the following comment, I only intend to give some further perspective but; what if the game were called honky's and trailers? Some may not take offense to that but in a broader perspective what would that teach native children about how we should think about white people? We need to be careful about the subliminal things we are teaching our children even in something as simple as a games name. Not all natives lived in teepees. And we there is no solid scientific evidence to prove native people that are indigenous to what are now called the America's and Canada were originally from India. In my opinion, if we are educating children properly we should be careful not to use offensive or derogatory terminology.Thank you for taking the time to read this.

This is awful. As an Indigenous person, I think people need to become more educated before using our culture and people as a game. We are not "Indians", we are Indigenous. We are Inuit. We are Metis. We are Ojibway. We are Mohawk. We are First Peoples.

Agree with the comments about the name change. Indigenous Peoples are called First Nations/Metis/Inuit in Canada and Native American in America, when speaking about them broadly and politically. Not only is using the term Indian inaccurate and a term given to the First Peoples, this game presents a stereotype and limited view of who they are and how they live (both historically and in present day).
Could be a fun game. I like the idea of calling it Campers and Tents.

The description is a little confusing but seems like a fun game. However no one uses the term indian anymore, it's first nations or Native American. We are not descendents from india therefore we are not indians. Great game though!

gordan ramsey u said it!!

good game! people need to get over the racial garbage. They are indians. thats what they are. there is nothing bad about tthat

its offensive because native americans /indigenous people prefer not to have the term "indians" used by others to refer to a stereotype. Indians and teepees have been used in many offensive ways

How is the name offensive? One is an Indian and one is a teepee and it is a game. What is so offensive about that?

Another name could be tents and campers: great for if you're on a camp!

This sounds like a fun game but I would be interested in a name or idea that isn't racial. The name is offensive.

so do the teepees face inwards while making a circle? then the indians crawl under their legs to the outside of the circle and run around it?

You form a circle with your partner. Teepees stand behind partner and Indians sit down in front of Teepees

how do they form a circle if there in pairs im really confused but i really like the game
