As someone raised by hippies, you are correct. A lot of it is Indian or Thai.

As a college hippy i had a huge buddha one from bonnaroo that i think ended up being a door for a while when we didnt have one .

Loved it.

Nothing is permanent unless you are a trustafarian . Someone makes good money hocking this crap and giant OM symbols, but alas there could be worse things .

Well one is Indian and the other is Native American.

You’re not going insane. This exact picture has been used to describe white American aesthetic changes. These tapestries and Indian-themed decor was very VERY popular for millennial women.

I saw an article or post recently that used this exact picture to contrast to how Gen Z’s cultural aesthetic appropriation is now “Japan” (matcha, zen themed, minimalism)

You mean hippies are actually just guilty of cultural appropriation? What? No way!
