Would be really cool to have a Neverland and get some Native American representation with the inclusion of Indian Camp and an unlockable war bonnet like the one Big Chief gives to Pan.
Representation and new island
If the goal is representation a war bonnet isn't how to do that as it would be disrespectful. It would be like adding stolen valor to the game.
I completely support adding clothing options and stories that are inclusive but Peter Pan stuff ain't it as far as the topic goes.
They are not decorations they are symbols of honor in a community, earned.
Yeah, I gotta agree with Wolfie here; neither Barrie's original novel nor the '50s Disney film is even remotely close to an appropriate representation or portrayal of Native American culture, appearance or customs in our modern-day cultural climate.
I mean, I'm about as far from being a keyboard social justice warrior as possible, but just re-watch the Disney movie if you haven't seen it since you were a kid...it's staggeringly racist.
EDIT: I suppose I should append the phrase "by today's standards" before I'm pilloried by any members of the forum for dumping on a beloved childhood memory. Both the novel and the movie are products of their time (110 yrs and 71 yrs ago, respectively) where such offensive stereotypes were not only acceptable but commonplace. They have no business being continued, much less celebrated with inclusion in modern society.

I'm native American and not offended by it. So it's a hard no for peter pan?
I've always thought they should try to get a deal for the hook movie specifically over the older peter pan stuff. Far more appealing to a lot of SoT players imo.
But in general I think Captain Hook would be a great character.
My issue with what you recommended specifically is comparable to how I would feel about adding a medal of honor to this game. A great showing of selflessness and sacrifice that isn't appropriate to just add into a video game like this. We are talking about the highest forms of recognized honor in communities, that can't just become a thing for people to do disrespectful things with in a game.
The beauty of the cultures should be represented, the art, the clothing, the stories. Respectful representation.
