Notes This poem thematizes cultural appropriation and the precarity of minoritized languages and cultures. The speaker of the poem points out that Native American Cherokee identity has become fashionable and that many people are now calling themselves 'Cherokee' and adopting ridiculous, over-the-top names, that don't reflect authentic Cherokee cultural reality.
