TLC Gypsy Brides where a couple get a Cherokee themed wedding and everyone is cool with it.

ANYTIME someone says "Im part Cherokee!" I always tell them, "Being conceived in a Jeep does not make you part Cherokee."

My daughter is 1/4 Japanese. When she graduated high school, she wanted to wear kimono. She had been raised with her grandparents her whole life and was a part of the customs and traditions, so her Japanese grandmother helped her with the kimono and all the bits and pieces to put her together. This is what 'honoring culture or tradition' is about, not making a mockery with a costume wedding dress and head dres. The dress may not have been as 'sexy' as she was hoping for if she asked his family to help her, but she would have shown a lot more respect for both his family and his culture.

As a person who is a first gen immigrant who was adopted into a southern family, I can confirm the southern obsession with being part Native American.

“Leave the natives alone” had me CACKLING 😂

I'm 50% Potawatomi and registered to my tribe. Everybody gets so excited and exclaims they're Native too when they meet me. I dated somebody that had the Cherokee flag tattooed. His mother even asked how to get registered with the tribe. DNA test came back 0.0% Native 😂 why does everybody always say they're Cherokee? There's hundreds of tribes lol

I got to the part with the blue headress. Every feather is blessed and they're sacred. Also as another commenter said they're not worn by women.

I'm as white as bleached flour, I never want to hear "blinged out Cherokee goddess" ever again in my life😂

My dad being full blooded Cherokee. Whenever I say I am, everyone is like “OHHH ME TOO! My grandma was an Indian princess” 💀

As a florist in my home state, I have seen my fair share of gypsy weddings....But nothing will ever top their funerals. Now thats an event

Gypsy weddings remind me of those games where you can fully customize your character with THE most random stuff

Being full blood Native American (half Apache/ half Pueblo) I can say being indigenous is more than just blood, it’s about knowing and practicing the culture. Knowing the history and the language of your people. Without that you’re just another face in this world. I also lived in the south for awhile and my boss would always bring up his native side too, so that’s funny that Ken brings that up. But I also hear that from others too when they find out I’m native, Cherokee is the most used 😄

[anime]

So they want a "traditional Cherokee wedding" with 👓👀 "cowboy/cowgirl" attire as well.... Sure. I'm sure native's of any and every tribe LOVE cowboys.

[HighKai]

this shit is too funny 😂😂😂 i’m full Native American, Navajo and Lakota Souix to be exact and you are correct 🤣 if i had a dollar for everytime a white person told me they’re part native i’d be a millionaire

[jeannabeckman]

She took the whole I'm an Indian princess to a whole new level 💀

[PhillyJuggalo]

A lot of Native American tribes actually used leather or sinew to tie clothing, bracelets, pouches and more. I’ve personally never met or heard of any using straw (knowing it was brittle) for anything other than basket weaving which strengthens the straw with a ton of support lol

[bubbajoe]

I agree with you Ken. My family is supposedly part native American, don't know what tribe, but I've never actually claimed it because it's one so little and two I don't have any paperwork to prove nor do I really care to. Not saying I don't think the culture is fascinating, but not gonna claim it myself like these people.

[nnnnnn]

As someone who works in the crazy, busy wedding industry.... when she solemnly said, "If the straw doesn't hold up... the wedding's rUiNeD, " I lost ALL air in my lungs laughing suddenly. xDDD

[PrinceIsot]

As a Native i think this shit is pretty funny 😂 some people just look ridiculous in our attire (fake or otherwise)

[cyriell]

I see the title and i just get flashbacks to the southpark episode with randy doing a "dna and me" test
Randy is 2.8% neandethal and goes beserk blaming people of wiping out his ancestors etc 😂

[Stray_Reverie]

I have no indigenous ancestry, but I do have a funny genealogy story:

My great Uncle has always had a lot of pride in his Greek heritage and was very adamant that he was Greek, NOT Italian. His daughter gave him a 23&Me kit as a gift for a birthday to trace his lineage and find out more about his family history.

....He was 0% Greek.

Turns out his grandma moved from Sicily a long time ago and just told everybody she was Greek, then passed the same fixation on to her kids.

He was FURIOUS and the whole fiasco is supposed to be a big secret in my family, apparently. However, Great Aunt told everybody, so we all secretly know and just don't bring it up. He hasn't gone off about "Greek pride" in awhile though...

Im half choctaw and half sioux, and I'm surrounded by other tribal members and most of us cant help but shake our heads in bewildered humor. Some get angry or put off but most of laugh off the foolishness. You can just tell when people like the native "aesthetic" and the ones whose heart is in it. It feels silly to see a 1 percent native wanting to be called chief by his friends, coworkers, straight up strangers and we laugh at it too but it happens all the time and i personally laugh it off and mind my own business with that nonsense lol
