I love coming to Ponderosa because the environment is always welcoming, and the staff is always very knowledgeable about the products. One thing that I did have an issue with on Monday picking up my order, was there day of the dead display. Day of the dead celebrated October 31 to November 2. It is a sacred holiday for many people myself included. Canamo products are one of my all-time favorites their quality is great. Canamo has taken the sacred Calavera and used it on on their products which Is cool but that is cultural Appropriation, there were plastic chains hanging over some kind of railing, where you can attach a tag with canamo‘s score and write a message to a loved one or remembering somebody. That is very offensive to attempt to celebrate day of the dead because he he was a day of the dead image on your products. A Ofrenda or altar is set up with many elements in mind. The elements used to set up such offering are the elements of earth wind water and fire along with salt to purify the altar. With articles that our love is ones loved or enjoyed along with their pictures. Marigolds are one of the sacred flowers that are used on these alters or offerings because they lead the spirits of my loved ones back to meet us and enjoy this time. Day of the dead is a celebration of life I should not be used as a marketing stunt. I suggest that you all do your research before setting up such offensive displays. This will not determine from returning to Ponderosa because I understand that this is not Ponderosa‘s issue but please reach out and do your research and do things correctly because these are sacred practices and they mean a lot for other people. Once again Ponderosa this is not against you this message is direct me to canamo please do better.
