Im going to post this reply here, cuz I think everyone deserves to see it.
The design in no way paints native americans as a bully, yes re'em are bullies but if you go into why I designed this item that way it may be more understandable. For one the types of animals re'em are based off of are thick through western culture. I do not like following traditional mythology and I did not want to do the item as Jewish especially since the re'em is also possibly unicorn, you have to go deep into the essence of the item to realize I spread the roots of it for a reason. While the re'em is Jewish, unicorns and other such creatures are clearly not. Each culture in the work has different ways of viewing mythological beasts. As for the fact that the re'em is considered a bully, for once I'm Apache indian, we WERE bullies, and just because I chose a mythological creature does not mean im not going to research down to the very basis of what it could be I apologise if an item I put a lot of my own research time and effort into is being considered rude or callous. What I find even more interesting is that I did not design the face paint which is something that was pointed out to me as clownish and extremely rude. Ive also been told the hair was nappy? And I designed it as smooth and pulled to the sides with leather strips.
