“she gets upset when people say the chant is meant as a sign of “honor” ... calling it the “commodification” of her people as well.”
Her people? She been following the buffalo again? Wandering the prairie? This actress is getting a little full of herself.
I don’t know what the Indians called their leaders but I’m sure it wasn’t “Chief”
“Chief comes from the French term chef, which originates from the Latin word caput, both of which refer to the head of a group.”
Native Americans probably use something like leader, headman.... but they didn’t use chief.
Chief is the anglicized version of chef.
So this argument is stupid because the etymology wasn’t consulted.
