A company with locations across Canada is coming under fire in Edmonton for selling Indigenous-themed Halloween costumes described as "racist garbage." Zoe Glassman complained to Party City about it's Indigenous-themed costumes. Todd Houseman says sexualized images of Indigenous women promote harmful attitudes. On Monday, activists in Regina placed warning labels on Indigenous costumes at a Spirit Halloween store, which also has locations in Edmonton. They explained how the costumes promote the sexualization of Indigenous women, highlighting that an inquiry is underway into 4,000 missing and murdered Aboriginal women.
