Using Native American imagery and terminology in this context is insensitive and promotes incorrect information and possibly negative stereotypes about Natives. It's the same sort of thing as portraying a "German" set with a huge beer mug and a sloshed face.
So sad that I predicted a post exactly like this, and scanned through to see which sad-sack would say it. It's not "racist" to have something admiring the style of another culture. How is this negative? No one's drinking fire water and smok'em peace pipe.
Get over it seriously, ick.
(Added to which, if it's Native American dress mixed in with a Native American deity names as you say, how is the fact that neither of which is being portrayed in a negative fashion, is the same as negatively showing Germans as drunks? What. Terrible comparison. People like who you are so unable to see the difference between good and bad, you erroneously think EVERYTHING'S bad. And since it's ALL bad you'd what, prefer we don't even mention Native Americans for fear of offending anyone? The natural end-result of that is like they never existed at all. I suppose that's better? Messed up.)
