Through history, the Native Americans have been demonized through depictions of their head dressings. I am Native and I do not feel comfortable with people wearing my culture and same goes for online characters and in this case as decoration for lions in the game.

There is a difference between having feathers as decorations in the game. Please refer to the image below for right and wrong placements (art credit goes to Le on discord)

in a lot of mocking native american art the pointing up feather was drawn on native americans who appeared to look like savages. it’s very looked down on in native culture, it’s not just mocking headdresses.

It's stereotyping Native Americans. It makes me uncomfortable to see headdresses or feathers pointing upward.
