First of all it’s not INDIAN IT’S NATIVE, American optional, I am NATIVE and it is offensive because we dont look like that at all, so it is very well a sterotype we all dont walk around with feathers & head dresses thank you! Personally I am not offended but I just wanted to clarify that it is a stereotype!
This is SO awkward… bad; really bad portrayal of Native Americans. Dad looks like he’s fairly convinced of his own “chief” appeal. Nobody looks very happy. If I were Native American I don’t know if I’d laugh or be offended!
This is just people dressing up as Indians. I think it’s a cute, fun, awkward family moment. It’s not like they are portraying them in an offensive stereotype (i.e. slaughtering a village.) I think whatever American Indians want should be handed to them on a silver platter, but in JMHO, I don’t think this is offensive.
