I don't want to offend anyone but since when can we now not call multi colored corn - Indian Corn? I just listed a small beaded corn pin and could not put in the title "Indian" corn. Even changed the catalogy to non-American and still would not let me. So changed the title and did not put the word "Indian" in. Is this a wrong thing now? What do we call this corn now?????

What a cool pin!!! Does not seem fair, that now a traditionally known term can't be used - a familiar phrase? What type of message did you receive? Did it reference a policy?

Wow , I have never thought of it as a deragatory term . Seems to me that corn was first grown as a crop by Native American's and this is where the term started . I guess in this world of political correctness we are renaming lots of things . I wonder if Indian summer is also wrong now ? I'm going to google about it now and see what I can find . Very interesting .

Maybe it's a category thing because: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1311.R1.TR4.TRC1.A0.H1.XIndian+Corn+.TRS0&_nk...

Though the beauty may be in the butterfly, the struggle and growth occur in the cocoon.

I googled and maybe the title should read?

"Indigenous Peoples Ornamental Flint Maize Corn Pin"

That's a really cute pin, dins! I like it a lot! It's a good thing it's not "ivory" colored or you'd really be in deep doo with ebay!

I'm not a hoarder! There's a price tag on everything!

That's a head scratcher as I see a lot of items listed on ebay using "Indian corn" in the title.

Some listings in jewelry too.

Search "Native Amer Beaded Indian Corn Earrings"

Is the husk made of real husk? I really want to try to make one of these. It is the most wonderful use of leftover beads I have ever seen. I just love it.

I do want to list it in the correct place. When I tried this morning to list it I gave up on putting "indian" in the title. Also - Yes i did list a bangle and made sure I listed it as cream color and not irovy. Learned that from this board.
