Please note: When selecting costumes, the CRC recommends being mindful of the risk of cultural appropriation.  There are a variety of definitions of cultural appropriation; in general it refers to the use of objects or elements of a non-dominant culture in a way that reinforces stereotypes and/or demonstrates a lack of understanding of the historical context of, or the meanings behind, these elements, thus can be considered offensive to members of that cultural group.”
