Spencer and Heidi’s latest antics has some Native Americans pretty peeved!!
Speidi announced yesterday that they were now going to go by their new Native American names, Running Bear and White Wolf.
The National Indian Education Association has spoke with Tmz and said the following;
“they have taken an inaccurate stereotypical approach to enhance their public image which is offensive to our diverse American Indian cultures.”
They add, “We hope they are taking their ‘self-improvement’ journey seriously.”
The source also spoke with an actual tribe leader from South Dakota, who had the same feelings. He explains; “Continued stereotyping such as this by people ignorant of our traditional ways is very disrespectful and only hurts our efforts to curtail these stereotypes.” The tribe leader also acknowledges that the names chosen by Spencer and Heidi, are names used in their tribe as well.
So did the Pratts take it too far this time around?
