Woman at centre of social media storm says no one told her how to dress

The woman at the centre of a social media storm surrounding the use of her image says the conversation was misinformed from the start.

A Facebook user noted the woman's appearance in a Government of Canada advertising campaign bore a resemblance to the Disney cartoon character Pocahontas. She and others were quick to challenge what they saw as racist stereotyping of Indigenous people.
