I do enjoy when the social justice circle jerkers eat their own. It's also nice to know that our students are essentially out of real problems.

I doubt that those that got offended were descended from one of the tribes that made use of teepees: there were remarkably few who made such dwellings. Even if the were, for all their talk of their strong culture, I doubt they themselves take part in the spiritualism on any serious level. Its rather common for tribes to pay lip service rather than get serious about their heritage.
It's always stuck me as ironic that so many tribes go and associate with all other tribes when they all had histories of constant war and bloodshed and their cultures tended to be very different from one to another. It'd be like saying the people of Europe are of one culture.
Some are in some contexts. Mostly, they're just easily transportable dwellings, a Native-American version of a really excellent tent. Treating ordinary Native-American things as sacred is actually kind of silly and feeds into the stereotype of all Native-American culture as being mystical. Sometimes, a house is just a house.
Once again its people being self rightous for the sake of being self rightous. It the same thing whena comedian makes a joke on the internet and peopl who are "not smart" or misguided blow it out of proportion.
Such lack of common sense only serves t dilute the issues that matter. The ego is a powerful force though.
