  I always felt like American Girl dolls were never made for me. I always envied people who could afford them but they are so expensive. I am Native American and I always wanted Kaya because I think I just craved some sort of representation (I'm Oglala Lakota though, not the same tribe as Kaya). The only Indigenous dolls I had growing up were Disney Pocahontas dolls, I know there are some Indigenous Barbie's that mattel made in the 90s, but I never had them, I didn't know they existed until recently lol. I also noticed that anytime indigenous dolls are made, they are *Always* historical dolls wearing traditional clothing. There aren't really any indigenous dolls that are "modern", it seems like we are only ever depicted as existing in the past but never in the present. I'm not making that complaint towards American girl though because history is their main thing, it's just something I noticed with dolls in general.

  I really appreciate your comment! I know that Indigenous futurisms and Afrofuturism are spaces in which our stories exist in the future. However, UNFORTUNATELY, when it comes to popular consumer goods, we too often only get to exist in the past.

  I used Addy's story with my fifth-grade students to introduce them to the subject of slavery in America. This was way before I was ever an AG collector. Her story started many discussions. I don't think my students will forget the cruelty of the tomato worms. Rebecca was my first purchase. I had never owned a Jewish doll before. It was very meaningful to me to have a doll from my culture. And then Addy was reissued. I was so excited to have her. And I have been slowly trying to find some of the parts of her original collection. I purchased Yvette, but waited on her purchase until I could trust her hair. AG made a mess of her at the beginning. I followed someone online who gave some good advice on that doll. I purchased Claudie. Fell in love with her. So, I am now the owner of 15 AG dolls and many outfits and accessories. Mostly the historical dolls. I find myself dressing them and changing outfits far more often than I remember doing that with my childhood dolls. Well, now I can afford this. I only had a few dolls when I was a child. I have heard some of the book authors speak and I am impressed by the research involved.

  Tell me you put that doll on that bed! Addy needs to use that vest too. That is actually a heritage from the original developer, it was a teacher I think. The original ones were historical charachters made to educate and inspire girls.

  Great question! It is certainly an accurate portrayal of what would have been the norm at that time. In the grand scheme of all of the girls' stories, I often wonder the ways in which they are connected. For instance, could Addy have been born on the same plantation that Felicity's family once inhabited? What a great fanfiction project that would be to bring all of the stories of the historical dolls altogether into one book series. :)

  Oh my goodness. I loved American Girl growing up. I am old enough to remember when there were only the four original historic white dolls: Felicity, Kirsten, Samantha, and Molly, and when Addy first came out and I was so excited to see one that looked like me, that my family was actually willing to spend the money to buy. I had an Addy, I had all of the books of what I think of as the Big Five, (the first five characters), and I owned a few of the outfits both in my size and the dolls. I wore Addy's blue school suit to school in fourth grade and was teased mercilessly. But yes, the consumerism of American Girl is incredible. Over the years I watched the catalog go from four pages to hundreds and then turning into almost a theme-park like experience going to the store and the restaurant in the Grove with nieces and little cousins. And yes, incredibly expensive. It was always expensive, but when I was a child there were a lot fewer things available to buy. An American Girl doll was something I got once and treasured my entire childhood. It is interesting to me to see adults using these dolls for escape because that is not how I experienced them even when reading the white dolls' stories. They were a lens to histories that were often very difficult. So fascinating to think about what it means to fit the stories like Addy's into the American Girl universe as people are experiencing it today.
