Osheaga Bans People From Wearing First Nations Headdresses

Osheaga has just announced that First Nations Headdresses will no longer be allowed at the festival. The organizers recognize the cultural and spiritual significance behind headdresses and have said that "they shouldn't be worn as a fashion accessory", and frankly, we agree.
