Cher and her fans have spent the past WEEK attacking Native Americans calling out the diva for cultural misappropriation and for falsely claiming Native identity for personal enrichment.
On December 22nd, a Canadian-born singer announces she is now the Native American representative on Trump's National Diversity Council. She claims to have been a former Pussycat Doll, which the group disputes. She also claims to have a full-blooded Apache father for which she has no proof either.
"Iron Eyes Kaya" as she is dubbed by Native Twitter (an allusion to the false claims of Native ancestry by Italian-American actor Iron Eyes Cody) responds by sharing Cher's song "Half Breed" and slamming her critics as racists.
As Native Twitter discusses this and wonder again that Americans still believe Cher is Native and speaks for them, Cher, herself, weighs in.
