As a native woman, I can honestly say I dont care for this dress. Head dresses are only worn by men also if you want to honour native culture look up how a real wedding dress looks like. This is a halloween costume at best.
Monique, of Venus I like to think that that straw breaking is also the whole culture saying “ fuck you for appropriating/sexualizing our culture and our cloths” and honestly with some of the stuff they say in this whole this, they deserve it
Why is everyone except the bride dressed up like they were just going to get groceries and happened to come across a wedding on the way there so they decided to just hop by.
“If the straw doesn’t hold up, the wedding is ruined”, it was already ruined when you wore the war bonnet with the dress for a Cherokee wedding, there’s nothing you can do to save the wedding now.
In the UK version of this show there was a wedding that was serving fries and chicken nuggets. Id rather have a really nice reception than a $20,000 dress.
I love how the girl spends SO much on an offensive dress and the guy just gets a shirt from walmart and calls it a day 😂 As someone who is part Native this whole situation is hilarious to me. I wonder what my ancestors think 🤣
Your ancestors are probably face palming themselves over that abomination of that dress. I looked up Cherokee traditional wedding dresses because I was curious and I like to learn about other cultures. I have to say those dresses look a hell a lot better than what she ended up wearing. If she wanted to incorporate the Romani into the dress, she could've still use the blue stones in places where you would traditionally see the blue...though I would've not over use it where the dress becomes more Romani than Cherokee. The head dress she wore...damn, as a white person, that made me cringe. I am fourth generation Irish American on my dad's side. So, if I wanted to wear a traditional Irish wedding dress...it would be blue (as it symbolizes purity and it's typically light in shade) though white can be worn too. If someone like this woman would want to Romani up a bit, she would probably wear green because people wear green on St. Patrick's Day and it's associated a lot with the Irish these days. The amusing thing is that blue was the color initially associated with St. Patrick before green took over.
Did he....did he just show up in a shirt and jeans? That dont even match?This makes the bride look so overdressed. Or he's way underdressed which ever one it is.
As someone who's mother is Inuit and a father who is Scottish. Yeah I am very white presenting but I do consider myself of Indigenous descent. I will say that you can be white presenting and still be indigenous. There were a lot of times where colonizers raped Indigenous women so there bloodline would be washed out. But in this case yes I find it hard to believe he's Cherokee simply because if he was he would have found this very offensive and would have wanted something that was traditionally used for weddings... anyway that's my opinion... people can be white passing and still Indigenous but in this case I really don't think he is.....
It is for males only, meant for chiefs and in early times it was worn by warrior chiefs that went to war. Women don’t wear them even though some females are chiefs.
yes ! thank you ! the feathers represent kills (in navajo culture at least) and the longer your headress was, the longer your list of kills was. it was a sign of respect to the deceased and this is just so disrespectful
As a native American I can say I love when people want to learn and incorporate our culture into their life but people need to know how to do it properly. The head dress is one of the highest honors in our culture and needs to be earned from war or gifted to you and from what I was taught its only worn by traditionally by men. Women in the way I was taught wear a beaded kind of crown/headband and a single eagle feather if gifted and usually when wearing the traditional ceremony outfit. The dress itself was very pretty but she could have done things a bit more respectfully and even tho the husbands family had no problem its about respect in the end not only for them but for the others on the community.
Also wanted to add that I am speaking from what I've learned and there are many different aboriginal people for instance I'm ojibwe and Mohawk so our traditions are different then those who are Cherokee
ThulePrincess88 uh... the niqab / hijab is different from a native american headdress. the niqab/hijab is an outfit. a native american headdress is a sign of honor and the right to wear it has to be achieved or gifted to you
ThulePrincess88 I'm not offended because you probably know how to respect the niqab/hijab that you wear or the tradition around it. Also calling me a moron is rude its simply me stating what I've learned. I'm only 16 and trying to be a voice for my people. Also like I said I am speaking the traditions I was taught. in Cherokee traditions (I am not Cherokee) they didn't even wear head dresses from what I know tho I could be wrong and if so someone please correct me. But like I said its about respect and knowing a culture and their traditions and doing it properly :)
@@StrictlyShannon95 many tribes like Cherokees were forced to intermarry other tribes and white settlers due to the pressure by them to civilize and population due to them bringing over diseases. My mother was native American that descended from Catawba , Edisto (a subtribe of cusabo) and eventually they intermarried with African Americans and Filipinos. So a lot of people DO have a drop or so of Cherokee in them. Even African Americans....
The bride and groom: we're having a Cherokee wedding and incorporating tradition Me, a traditional Cherokee who has been to traditional Cherokee weddings: no you're really not....
i hope you don’t mind, but id love to learn about it. ive always been interested in native american culture because i get sick and tired every day inside of my us history class learning about these “great” white people. i want to start respecting now before i just ignore the pain my ancestors have put onto the original people of america.
@*LA SHORE* I haven't met many white Americans. Only those old folks that take a Danube cruise and look so damn touristy. I know that it's not my job to apologize for something that happened long before I was born. It's my job to make sure these atrocities don't happen again.
They 100% confident that the dress completely captures the traditions of Cherokee weddings. You know when they wore glitter, biker boots, and fringe. 🙄🙄🙄
@@MsJubjubbird my tradition shouldnt be a "costume" simple as that. Dont go tell me not to be sensitive about it because i am im 100 percent offened why couldnt they just get married with their own tradition why claim someone else's. Talking about "ShE's nOt TrYiNG" clearly shes put a lot of time into it why couldnt she have put the time and throw a normal fucking wedding, a traditional wedding comes with honor with lots a prayer not just givin to make little girls dream come true shes wearing a head set that has meaning behind it that should clearly be earned not given to just cause she wanted one. Everything wrong with this world is in this fucking video and your fucking comment. So fuck off and dont tell me how to react on my beliefs.
@@callmet1777 If you're offended then you need to toughen up buttercup because I'm not giving you a gold star for it or badge of honour like you are seeking. She's in a cross-cultural marraige and people can still live their life even if you refuse to live yours. If that makes you so upset then go and write a "Things I am grateful for" list. Lots of people wear costumes- which are fake, headdress included, from other cultures and people don't go crying about it. You ain't special snowflake nor are you a victim. What is wrong with the world is people looking to be offended, rather than saying sticks and stones.
This is NOT Cherokee tradition. NONE of it. Cultural misappropriation to the hilt and the Cherokee family was part of the mockery. Dishonorable. Our men don't wear the head dress. At all. We aren't plains ndn.
I have, like, a Cherokee great-grandmother on my mom's side but that does _not_ make me culturally Cherokee and I am cringing so hard through this. This looks like a Disney's Pocahontas halloween costume.
Her: She stitched it with straw I'm so glad to honor this tradition Also her: wears head dress that is supposed to be earned not given and doesn't realize how offensive to actual natives this is
I honestly dont understand how that is wrong. They arnt saying anything derogatory to or about the Cherokee. And no, just wearing another cultures garb is not derogatory.
Dakota Conn Derogative* not derogatory. I’m gonna go out on a limb here and guess that you aren’t Native American. Firstly, no one said it was derogative to begin with. However it is offensive because these ignorant people are making a completely skewed representation of what they think is Native American when in reality, Cherokees didn’t even wear headdresses. It’s not as much as the representation that is upsetting, but the fact that they only think of headdresses and turquoise when they think of Native American culture. They aren’t accessories, they’re sacred things. You’re right though. Wearing another culture’s clothing is not derogative, but it is very insulting. Any Native American, myself included, has every right to believe so. She didn’t have to say anything, her dress said everything for her.
I’m over 75% native and I showed this to my uncle and he is in the council and he said why does that white girl have a head dress on cause it’s more common for men to wear them
@@megancollier3803 Im Danalivah Koga (Fighting Crow) of the Anigilohi (Longhair)Clan in the Eastern Tsalagi Nation- my people dont do this MESS, and do NOT disrespect our Creator or our Ancestors by parading around in inappropriate dress and offensive accessories. 😁
I'm sorry, but they are real gypsies... They made fun of are culture too. This whole show is white people pretending to be something there are not.. and again I am sorry this is even a dress.
as an actual native who lives on a reservation i can tell you 100% things she had on her dress were more racist than "traditional" like wearing a headdress is a very sensitive thing
would you mind elaborating, the headdress was obscene to me, but id love to know what was wrong with her gown, is it because it was potentially real feathers, thus she or her family did not harvest them herself. because one other gypsy dress used 22 foxes, so im just Caucasian assuming thats the other issue. would love to learn
This is so gross. I’m a member of the Cherokee Nation and she went about this all wrong. No one in the Cherokee Nation (not our chief) wears war bonnets (feather headdresses) because they belong to the Plains peoples. They are a bunch of different tribes in the Plains region who have different cultures from is Cherokee and only chiefs or people who earned them. Also, we don’t wear “Pocahontas” outfits because Matoaka aka Pocahontas was a real girl who was abused and kidnapped, not just some Disney character. Lastly, the whole “using straw to pay homage to Cherokee people” is bs. We have actual wedding tradition and outfits none of which involve straw.
Yep, he would have worn a ribbon shirt if he wanted to respect his culture, and she would have worn a tear dress, they would have exchanged venison and corn, and they would have drank from a wedding vase.
So gypsy tradition is to be as tacky and offensive to the Indigenous people of this country as possible. Also, Pocahontas's real name was Matoaka and was not Cherokee.
This show is offensive all around. Not only is this offensive to the Native American culture, but also the Romani culture. Additionally, many Romani find the word “g*psy” to be offensive and none of this show is an accurate representation of our culture. As a Romani person, I do not claim this trash. This video made a mockery of two separate and beautiful cultures and it’s not like ok.
@@は私です彼の名前 finally someone sane...going through the comments everyone in this world knows the meaning of head piece and its value except her. Funny the groom has no problem being a native.
I’m not Cherokee but I’m Karankawa even thought it ain’t my tribe, I still fell major disrespect in this video. People these days turning tradition into fashion.
rain b umm no people need to understand not to appropriate other culture especially white people that go around wearing braids and dashikis which is so disrespectful and go around saying the n word
@Eunice Wekesa some white chick wanted to wear a traditional afrikaan dress to a Halloween party and boy I don't think any white person ever got shut down so fast 👏 Its disrespectful to use culture and tradition as a theme and fashion sense/style/trend.
I just can’t, this show cracks me up. It doesn’t even look like a wedding, most of those people even the groom showed up in either jeans and a tank top or shorts and a t shirt, like what the hell
Of course they are. It’s so incredibly disrespectful to the culture to wear one just because she thinks it’s pretty or “cool”. You can honor someone’s culture, but wearing a headdress which are meant to ONLY be worn by those who have earned them is SO disrespectful to their culture and not even close to honoring it.
jerae anderson uh.... do you mean Native American...? The only reason they called them Indians was because when they first landed in America they thought it was India and started calling the people there indians
@@ouka5763 Native Americans are allowed to call themselves whatever they want and it's not our place to correct them if we aren't Native American. In 1968, the American Indian Movement (AIM) was founded, and in 1977 a delegation from the International Indian Treaty Council, an arm of AIM, elected to collectively identify as "American Indian", at the United Nations Conference on Indians in the Americas in Geneva, Switzerland. Some activists and public figures of indigenous descent, such as Russell Means, prefer "American Indian" to "Native American." It is up to the individual what they would like to be called, and it's perfectly valid to say "as a Cherokee Indian."
When I worked for the Navajo Nation, I saw that perhaps 60% of the men & many of the women wore “cowboy” boots on a daily basis. Many were ranchers and some were rodeo cowboys. It’s a practical boot for that work in that environment.
If she wanted to honor his family, she should have done research and asked his family what sort of outfit would or would not be appropriate for a wedding between the two of them. I am sure that his family would have been more than happy to inform her.
Alicia MacFarlane The haeaddress is fake (disrespectful) Head dress has to be earned (yet they are wearing it) Women dont wear head dress So yes this is a disrespectful costume
The dress might be beautiful on some level, but the second hand shame that i feel seeing this is too strong for words. I am not the most knowledgeable person when it comes to Native American tradition and clothing, but this feels so wrong and disrespectful 😞😔
It's a merging of the cultures of both the bride and groom. Sure, it doesn't have much meaning to a Cherokee couple, or a gypsy couple, but it clearly has meaning to the people getting married, and that's all that matters
haven’t Americans taken enough from the natives? Good gosh, this was so pathetic and offensive. I’m so sorry to all Native Americans, especially Cherokees, that this has offended.
I really don't understand why she has to dress like a Native American. Like you're already gypsy. Appreciate your culture. Also why would she make that her wedding dress
M LT if her husband was really Cherokee he would not appreciate her dress I'm not even most Cherokees are allowed to wear some of the things she has on that dress
I totally agree with you, his probably not even "Cherokee" (as many, many white people clamming to be). And just seeing the dress pissed me off more. Haven't they taken enough from natives? They stole our land, mining uranium from our sacred mountain to create nuclear bombs and making my home into a radioactive wast land to the point when we can't even drink the water. And let's not forget the shity health care, and the over exaggeration of "all Navajos have casinos" and " natives are rice!". That's a big load of bull! And with that I'll close with I hate the dress. Burn it!!
Oh and if he was Cherokee would have married a Cherokee girl! But nooooo. There's no room for us "savages" ( villages in every Western movie I've seen, just because we defend our land) to eat married on shows like this, only 16 and pregnant, my bfgw.
The actual dress honestly isn’t that disrespectful, like it could’ve been a lot worse. However, the headdress completely is. Headdress’ are supposed to be created with eagle feathers that you earn by doing good deeds for your family or your tribe. Also females normal don’t wear them. Not because Natives are sexist, they aren’t, but because they were wore by the plains tribes medicine men. The medicine men helped people constantly and were rewarded eagle feathers more often than anyone else. Also they were not wore into battles like many people think. They would make the person wearing it stand out and become a target. When Natives fought in battle they moved together as one.
KiKi Thank you for clarifying that. Many people are complaining, but don’t explain the facts. No one person is born with infinite knowledge of everything so why be angry at an innocent mistake, especially if you don’t teach them the truth? We are all taught to hate each other without cause. That is the real thing we should be angry about.
Isn't it sexist that only men could practise medicine? I know it has been like that in almost every (but not all) cultures and time periods but the sentence doesn't make sense. It is sexist if the person who practises medicine can only be a men, but I know that almost every culture made the mistake to reduce women to be breeding horses and didn't allow intellectual activities (just look up how often women weren't allowed to read and punished for learning to read and doing so). I'm not trying to shit on native american culture but it is clear that not being allowed to practise medicine is another example of restricting women's intellectual abilities throughout history.
@@annajansen6945 You obviously have never researched or seen how Native culture is really structured, and she never said women couldn't practice medicine. Medicine Men which very well can be the healers in a tribe it doesn't mean they are the only healers and yes there are Medicine Women as well. Medicine men and women were looked to for more than just physical healing, and women are believed to have a higher healing ability and a greater connection to the spirit world. I assume you try to refer to Medicine in modern terms which have no bearing to being a medicine man/woman or their intellectual abilities. Women in Native culture and religion were and are builders, warriors, farmers, and craftswomen they do more than just watch over children. A lot of tribes, are Matrilineal instead of patriarchal, they had a say in the decisions made for the tribe and owned the properties of their families. Jesus, I'm all for Feminism and equality but don't try to tear down a race or culture by calling it sexist just to make a point.
You know what my biggest problem with this is? The fact that the groom is just wearing jeans and a t-shirt at his own wedding! Like cmon you could've put some more effort into the outfit!!
I'm Choctaw and Roma. this is honestly the most disgusting thing I have ever seen. yes, I would love to incorporate some of the traditional Choctaw tradition into my wedding when the time comes but OH MY GOD WHY IS HIS HEADDRESS COOKIE MONSTER VOMIT BLUE, WHY ARE THEY EVEN WEARING HEADDRESSES, WHAT IS HAPPENING, I AM SO CONFUSED. I know I'm late to the gig but I literally just saw this and its like 1 in the morning and I'm gonna have nightmares forever. idk I just had to say something.
I agree. I'm part Cherokee and this dress is so tacky and disrespectful. Women don't wear head dresses.. It would be like a person wearing a white sheet to an African American wedding. When will ppl learn sbout the beautiful culture instead of mocking it ..
I'm a Native American and I come from a small Native American reservation my great grandfather was a chief and my grandmother was taken from her family at a young age and sent to a boarding school where she was beaten if she spoke our language, and for them to wear war bonnets like this is disrespectful. Originally they were worn into battle but are now more commonly used for ceremonial occasions .This is a misuse of an important cultural and spiritual object of the Native American tribes of the Great Plains Headdresses are a restricted Item. They were further restricted in most cultures to men who have done certain things to earn them and earned a place of great respect in their tribes a male warrior would ride into battle with a long war bonnet trailing behind them. Each feather stood for a brave deed. It is very rare for a women to wear one. Someone could not just decide to wear one , it was not just a fashion accessory. They both claim something they know nothing about.
I didn’t much care for the war bonnets being worn at a wedding, as that did not seem fitting. But I definitely wish these two young people a long & happy life together...... and honestly, I rather doubt if they knew better.
in many respects...while the headdress WAS a sign of high martial standing at one time in history.. you yourself have said that the headdress is now more so an object used for ceremonial purposes. now I highly doubt that the Native men wearing the war bonnet today... would be considered to have high military expertise in any sense at all. so even right there, the bonet has lost its cultural significance. all im saying is that, all cultures are subject to change, and as much as we dont want it to.. some meanings are lost with time. with no ill intent.
I feel you it also happened to me I'm romanian well half but there is a video of a" Romanian gypsy "bride getting married and it's on tlc it's like they are stupid they all made fun of actually romanians and they coppied our culture when they are not romanian but gypsys on levels i feel you
There is nothing about that dress that's Cherokee! Even the men didn't wear those headdresses. That's a Lakota tradition and every feather is earned through and act of bravery. Totally disgusted by this so-called "Cherokee" dress. Looks like someone watched "Pocahontas" a few times too many!
Rather silly, I admit! Pocahontas WAS a prisoner of war, and she wasn’t Cherokee, and she definitely wouldn’t ever have worn a Plains tribe style “war bonnet.” (But I doubt the person who said it meant anything “bad” when they said it.)
I suppose, however, if she actually DID receive the honors of a chief, the headdress wouldn’t be an issue, though it would be an unusual thing for a woman. Even if she was a man, this would still be so wrong. You need to earn the headdress.
It's so tacky, I can taste it. Btw, Just for the record NO Indigenous tribe in the States has royalty. Just for the record. We do not have monarchy systems, We have matriarchy. The only reason the men actually started to handle the political power was because the U.S. government didn't want to do business with the woman and didn't respect it so they made the tribes have the men handle it. Little history lesson for ya. Also not all tribes wear headdress! I am Diné (Navajo) and we have nothing like that in our culture. Also some (But not all) have clan systems like mine. Learn something new everyday.
Miyu Rockbridge didn't the matriarchy still exist, they just had a man/men pass along the matriarchal elders' (I forgot the proper term, I'm sorry) decisions and such to the shitty government of the shittier white people? (And yes. I know I look white. Zapotec and Irish up in here)
I’m not Cherokee or Native American but I can already tell that her dress is very disrespectful to the culture. I do know that the headdress is very sacred and should not be used so idly.
I think the dressmaker did a good job attempting to not make the dress too gimmicky and definitely tried to appreciate not appropriate the culture. The bride is an idiot and a-hole for commissioning a culturally specific dress with a culture she has no understanding of & no significant ties to.
I'm seeing a ton of comments about the groom probably being only 1% Cherokee. I have to say, he actually has all the features. High cheek bones, small nose, olive complexion. Looks quite a bit like my dad when he was younger. Really strange feeling lol.
Okay I get that she was trying to honor her fiancée’s culture but the war bonnet was downright insensitive. I know she didn’t mean any disrespect but Sondra should have done her research instead of just going off of her vision since Native American culture is so misunderstood and because of this so easily disrespected.
Behabtwa she’s treating it like a costume, haha. A “traditional aboriginal” looking dress made by a white lady for another white lady. This has to be a joke, right?! LOL
Martijn Tijssen what the hell are you talking about?.... what does women have to do with Native American history?.... and why don’t you just google search the truth like a normal human being?....
It's somewhat complicated because people forget that Cowboys are a complete rip-off of Ranchero culture which came from Mexico. But because I would bet everything that I will ever have on the fact that he doesn't know this, I don't disagree with you
that's right, usually men have head dress that they earned. It's pretty racist/insulting and her hubby should of had, if he's was really Cherokee, not agreed on her dress and especially the feathered head dress and would of not worn jeans/shirt and blue head dress.
groom straight up washed his hands, put on a shirt and called it a day
Ik right , offendes by that
X'D
He was like well at least I made it in time
He didn’t even iron the shirt

yes ! thank you ! the feathers represent kills (in navajo culture at least) and the longer your headress was, the longer your list of kills was. it was a sign of respect to the deceased and this is just so disrespectful

As a native American I can say I love when people want to learn and incorporate our culture into their life but people need to know how to do it properly. The head dress is one of the highest honors in our culture and needs to be earned from war or gifted to you and from what I was taught its only worn by traditionally by men. Women in the way I was taught wear a beaded kind of crown/headband and a single eagle feather if gifted and usually when wearing the traditional ceremony outfit. The dress itself was very pretty but she could have done things a bit more respectfully and even tho the husbands family had no problem its about respect in the end not only for them but for the others on the community.
Also wanted to add that I am speaking from what I've learned and there are many different aboriginal people for instance I'm ojibwe and Mohawk so our traditions are different then those who are Cherokee
Falicia Gingras i
ThulePrincess88 uh... the niqab / hijab is different from a native american headdress. the niqab/hijab is an outfit. a native american headdress is a sign of honor and the right to wear it has to be achieved or gifted to you
ThulePrincess88 I'm not offended because you probably know how to respect the niqab/hijab that you wear or the tradition around it. Also calling me a moron is rude its simply me stating what I've learned. I'm only 16 and trying to be a voice for my people. Also like I said I am speaking the traditions I was taught. in Cherokee traditions (I am not Cherokee) they didn't even wear head dresses from what I know tho I could be wrong and if so someone please correct me. But like I said its about respect and knowing a culture and their traditions and doing it properly :)

Ikr, why do caucasians always claim theyre cherokee?
White guilt is why
@@StrictlyShannon95 many tribes like Cherokees were forced to intermarry other tribes and white settlers due to the pressure by them to civilize and population due to them bringing over diseases. My mother was native American that descended from Catawba , Edisto (a subtribe of cusabo) and eventually they intermarried with African Americans and Filipinos.
So a lot of people DO have a drop or so of Cherokee in them. Even African Americans....

They arnt saying anything derogatory to or about the Cherokee.
And no, just wearing another cultures garb is not derogatory.
Dakota Conn Derogative* not derogatory. I’m gonna go out on a limb here and guess that you aren’t Native American. Firstly, no one said it was derogative to begin with. However it is offensive because these ignorant people are making a completely skewed representation of what they think is Native American when in reality, Cherokees didn’t even wear headdresses. It’s not as much as the representation that is upsetting, but the fact that they only think of headdresses and turquoise when they think of Native American culture. They aren’t accessories, they’re sacred things. You’re right though. Wearing another culture’s clothing is not derogative, but it is very insulting. Any Native American, myself included, has every right to believe so. She didn’t have to say anything, her dress said everything for her.

as an actual native who lives on a reservation i can tell you 100% things she had on her dress were more racist than "traditional" like wearing a headdress is a very sensitive thing
would you mind elaborating, the headdress was obscene to me, but id love to know what was wrong with her gown, is it because it was potentially real feathers, thus she or her family did not harvest them herself. because one other gypsy dress used 22 foxes, so im just Caucasian assuming thats the other issue. would love to learn

This is so gross. I’m a member of the Cherokee Nation and she went about this all wrong. No one in the Cherokee Nation (not our chief) wears war bonnets (feather headdresses) because they belong to the Plains peoples. They are a bunch of different tribes in the Plains region who have different cultures from is Cherokee and only chiefs or people who earned them. Also, we don’t wear “Pocahontas” outfits because Matoaka aka Pocahontas was a real girl who was abused and kidnapped, not just some Disney character. Lastly, the whole “using straw to pay homage to Cherokee people” is bs. We have actual wedding tradition and outfits none of which involve straw.
Alpha O'Mega i agree with you, I hate when people say their grandma was cherokee princess.
Yep, he would have worn a ribbon shirt if he wanted to respect his culture, and she would have worn a tear dress, they would have exchanged venison and corn, and they would have drank from a wedding vase.

In 1968, the American Indian Movement (AIM) was founded, and in 1977 a delegation from the International Indian Treaty Council, an arm of AIM, elected to collectively identify as "American Indian", at the United Nations Conference on Indians in the Americas in Geneva, Switzerland. Some activists and public figures of indigenous descent, such as Russell Means, prefer "American Indian" to "Native American."
It is up to the individual what they would like to be called, and it's perfectly valid to say "as a Cherokee Indian."

Narrator: "Dress disaster averted"
Me: "Oh honey... read the comments. You aint done yet"
The actual dress honestly isn’t that disrespectful, like it could’ve been a lot worse. However, the headdress completely is. Headdress’ are supposed to be created with eagle feathers that you earn by doing good deeds for your family or your tribe. Also females normal don’t wear them. Not because Natives are sexist, they aren’t, but because they were wore by the plains tribes medicine men. The medicine men helped people constantly and were rewarded eagle feathers more often than anyone else. Also they were not wore into battles like many people think. They would make the person wearing it stand out and become a target. When Natives fought in battle they moved together as one.
KiKi this goes to show that she didn't do research or get to know her husband's culture and I don't even think he knows his own culture.
KiKi Thank you for clarifying that. Many people are complaining, but don’t explain the facts. No one person is born with infinite knowledge of everything so why be angry at an innocent mistake, especially if you don’t teach them the truth? We are all taught to hate each other without cause. That is the real thing we should be angry about.
@Martijn Tijssen Peope getting shot has nothing to do with this
Isn't it sexist that only men could practise medicine? I know it has been like that in almost every (but not all) cultures and time periods but the sentence doesn't make sense. It is sexist if the person who practises medicine can only be a men, but I know that almost every culture made the mistake to reduce women to be breeding horses and didn't allow intellectual activities (just look up how often women weren't allowed to read and punished for learning to read and doing so). I'm not trying to shit on native american culture but it is clear that not being allowed to practise medicine is another example of restricting women's intellectual abilities throughout history.
@@annajansen6945 You obviously have never researched or seen how Native culture is really structured, and she never said women couldn't practice medicine. Medicine Men which very well can be the healers in a tribe it doesn't mean they are the only healers and yes there are Medicine Women as well. Medicine men and women were looked to for more than just physical healing, and women are believed to have a higher healing ability and a greater connection to the spirit world. I assume you try to refer to Medicine in modern terms which have no bearing to being a medicine man/woman or their intellectual abilities. Women in Native culture and religion were and are builders, warriors, farmers, and craftswomen they do more than just watch over children. A lot of tribes, are Matrilineal instead of patriarchal, they had a say in the decisions made for the tribe and owned the properties of their families.
Jesus, I'm all for Feminism and equality but don't try to tear down a race or culture by calling it sexist just to make a point.

I'm a Native American and I come from a small Native American reservation my great grandfather was a chief and my grandmother was taken from her family at a young age and sent to a boarding school where she was beaten if she spoke our language, and for them to wear war bonnets like this is disrespectful. Originally they were worn into battle but are now more commonly used for ceremonial occasions .This is a misuse of an important cultural and spiritual object of the Native American tribes of the Great Plains Headdresses are a restricted Item. They were further restricted in most cultures to men who have done certain things to earn them and earned a place of great respect in their tribes a male warrior would ride into battle with a long war bonnet trailing behind them. Each feather stood for a brave deed. It is very rare for a women to wear one. Someone could not just decide to wear one , it was not just a fashion accessory. They both claim something they know nothing about.
Christina Lovely I am so sorry your culture is constantly disrespected and then mocked. Horrible.
Christina Lovely
*Legit.*
I didn’t much care for the war bonnets being worn at a wedding, as that did not seem fitting. But I definitely wish these two young people a long & happy life together...... and honestly, I rather doubt if they knew better.
in many respects...while the headdress WAS a sign of high martial standing at one time in history.. you yourself have said that the headdress is now more so an object used for ceremonial purposes.
now I highly doubt that the Native men wearing the war bonnet today... would be considered to have high military expertise in any sense at all.
so even right there, the bonet has lost its cultural significance.
all im saying is that, all cultures are subject to change, and as much as we dont want it to.. some meanings are lost with time. with no ill intent.

*me* chokes on air.
Oh shit, thanks for the likes 😂😂❤💀
Ironically all I heard was trumps voice...smh
Pocahontas was a prisoner of war.
slap my ankles and call me daddy SAME
I cringed so hard, when i heard that 😒😒 smh
Rather silly, I admit! Pocahontas WAS a prisoner of war, and she wasn’t Cherokee, and she definitely wouldn’t ever have worn a Plains tribe style “war bonnet.” (But I doubt the person who said it meant anything “bad” when they said it.)
“Envelope-ing”...like she’s never heard the word said out loud and has only read it. En-vel-op-ing.
Idc if she was 100% cherokee. Wearing the headdress is a big honor that you have to EARN.
true. also, women never wore headdresses
Women can’t wear head dresses that’s that
I suppose, however, if she actually DID receive the honors of a chief, the headdress wouldn’t be an issue, though it would be an unusual thing for a woman. Even if she was a man, this would still be so wrong. You need to earn the headdress.
well if you're not cherokee the headdress is just an accessory, and no one cares.
They didn't show her backstory...how do you know she didn't earn it already?
"It was tight, it was sexy, I'm so proud"..... I throw up in my mouth a little.
hahaha her mom has the exact same priorities that I do hahaha
Dude, respect, their gypsies thats their mentality and culture
Pisces Rain I READ THIS COMMENT AT THE SAME TIME THR VIDEO SAID IT OMG
Pisces Rain 🤢🤢🤢
It's so tacky, I can taste it.
Btw, Just for the record NO Indigenous tribe in the States has royalty. Just for the record. We do not have monarchy systems, We have matriarchy. The only reason the men actually started to handle the political power was because the U.S. government didn't want to do business with the woman and didn't respect it so they made the tribes have the men handle it. Little history lesson for ya. Also not all tribes wear headdress! I am Diné (Navajo) and we have nothing like that in our culture. Also some (But not all) have clan systems like mine. Learn something new everyday.
Miyu Rockbridge what does tacky taste...?
Miyu Rockbridge didn't the matriarchy still exist, they just had a man/men pass along the matriarchal elders' (I forgot the proper term, I'm sorry) decisions and such to the shitty government of the shittier white people? (And yes. I know I look white. Zapotec and Irish up in here)
Like cake fondant
Miyu Rockbridge oh well that taste gross so i agree
I think the term is Clan Mothers. :)
As a native this is nooooo where near tradition for a wedding … don’t fake someone else culture just because you like the way it looks
That is literally the tackiest most insulting piece of clothing I've ever seen...
It seriously is

@@jaisbrennan7696 seems like you do give a Fuck bc you’re commenting on this with the same sentence everywhere.
@@jaisbrennan7696 *offended
she looks like an american girl doll, but like the walmart version
Cate Boyle good joke😂😂
Cate Boyle 😂 😂
Bahahaha!!

I’m not Cherokee or Native American but I can already tell that her dress is very disrespectful to the culture. I do know that the headdress is very sacred and should not be used so idly.
Thank you
@@katesouthwell6653 lol hi
I think the dressmaker did a good job attempting to not make the dress too gimmicky and definitely tried to appreciate not appropriate the culture. The bride is an idiot and a-hole for commissioning a culturally specific dress with a culture she has no understanding of & no significant ties to.
If you're not cherokee or native american, how about shut the fuck up.
Thank you for understanding and respecting our culture
I'm seeing a ton of comments about the groom probably being only 1% Cherokee. I have to say, he actually has all the features. High cheek bones, small nose, olive complexion. Looks quite a bit like my dad when he was younger. Really strange feeling lol.
That is not an olive complexion lmao
Okay I get that she was trying to honor her fiancée’s culture but the war bonnet was downright insensitive. I know she didn’t mean any disrespect but Sondra should have done her research instead of just going off of her vision since Native American culture is so misunderstood and because of this so easily disrespected.
Sarah Weiler because natives nevwr say much
Fiancé's since it's masculine it's one e.
I mean you don't watch shows like this to find smart people.
Saundra just did what her costumers wanted. It's not her job to judge the choices her costumers make.
Sarah Weiler the bride asked for it, not the designer
daughter: a tradition i wanted to honor.
mom: it is tight, sexy.
UGH!!!
plus wearing that headpiece was way off.
Behabtwa she’s treating it like a costume, haha. A “traditional aboriginal” looking dress made by a white lady for another white lady. This has to be a joke, right?! LOL
Yeah man
Behabtwa well...the head piece is probably part of the tradition as well....so.....
Ginger Cat
yes, it probably is for a costume party.
Woman in tribes don’t wear headdresses like this, it’s for males and each feather is earned
wait.. why is she wearing cowboy boots? Didn't the cowboys kinda... idk.. kill the Cherokees (and other Native Americans) lol.
Martijn Tijssen where were you educated?
What in the actual hell are they teaching in school? Oh dear God
Martijn Tijssen yes they did get killed by genocide as well.....
Martijn Tijssen what the hell are you talking about?.... what does women have to do with Native American history?.... and why don’t you just google search the truth like a normal human being?....
It's somewhat complicated because people forget that Cowboys are a complete rip-off of Ranchero culture which came from Mexico. But because I would bet everything that I will ever have on the fact that he doesn't know this, I don't disagree with you
Aren’t headdresses like this earned? And not just anyone can wear one?
that's right, usually men have head dress that they earned. It's pretty racist/insulting and her hubby should of had, if he's was really Cherokee, not agreed on her dress and especially the feathered head dress and would of not worn jeans/shirt and blue head dress.
This smells like tacky cultural appropriation. Ew.
It is
Yes
Stacey White no I don’t think I will
but let’s not forget they aren’t the only ones 😴
Of course !!!!
Being a ingenious women myself this is offensive no matter what.
I’m indigenous too I agree!!!
This is offensive all the way I agree with this comment
The dress was stunning but yes very offensive.
Ingenious or indigenous?
