One of the main reasons why the coming of age ceremony differs is based on the Navajo creation myth. In Navajo, Kinaalda represents a girl transforming into womanhood like Changing Woman. This is because Changing Woman is known as the first woman to have her Kinaalda by creating the first pair of Navajo people (Markstrom 304). Although there are various versions describing Changing Woman, she is known to have thought and speech as her parents, but is raised by First Man and First Woman (Young 225). When she had her first period, it was to be done that a ceremony would signify the “occurrence and significance for the girl’s initiation into womanhood”
Mathinna is dressed in a brown skirt and crop top with ochre painting on her body, a necklace and bare feet that clearly demonstrates her being in an aboriginal culture. Men and women in aboriginal cultures would wear body decorations and in Mathinna’s case (her necklace) would all be made from things found naturally. Most body decorations would be worn during special occasions and ceremonies (Daily Life, 2014). Therefore Mathinna wears this necklace to effectively portray that she is going to do a traditional stylised ceremony. Mathinna wore her hair down which was messy when she was in her aboriginal stylised clothing, thus in her culture there wouldn’t be such thing as a hair tie, and therefore this has heightened the representation of her aboriginal stylised clothing.

While simultaneously causing a mass cultural assimilation of a people's identity, culture, and tradition.

Native Americans have a really diverse culture and one report is not enough to talk about all of their cultures. They have fourteen tribes so it is obvious that they will have a lot of different cultures and traditions between all fourteen tribes. It is impossible to have fourteen tribes with different people and expect them to all believe in the same things so some of them have different beliefs and different traditions. They worshipped a lot of gods and even some of the gods had dolls made for them. Some tribes worshipped the sun or fire or some serpents.

One reason symbols become offensive is when they stop representing the history of a people and begin stereotyping people. For example, The Guardian website recently published an article discussing how statues can influence a viewer’s perspective of Native Americans. The site posted pictures of a group of monuments and wrote, “In this group of monuments, Native Americans are depicted in a position of weakness, usually at the feet of white settlers.” When visitors view these statues, the Native Americans look weak and helpless. Where are the statues depicting the strength and courage of the Native Americans?
The Mursi tribe are heavily known for their aesthetic in beauty and their embellishments. The Mursi people are mostly bald, even the women, and therefore they wear different headgears which are made from unconventional items. These headgears are made from cow horns, insects, bones, and even clay (Obamwonyi, 2016). They also rub their entire bodies with clay to protect themselves from the extreme dry weather conditions, but they also consider it a form of ornamentation (Obamwonyi, 2016). Another form of embellishment for the Mursi people is the tattooing of different patterns on their body with ash (Obamwonyi,
