Who is called as native girl of India?
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
The Indian princess is usually a stereotypical and usually inaccurate representation of Native American or other Indigenous woman of the Americas.[1] The term "princess" was often mistakenly applied to the daughters of tribal chiefs or other community leaders by early American colonists who mistakenly believed that Indigenous people shared the European system of royalty.[1] This portrayal has continued in popular animation, with characters that conform to European standards of beauty,[2] with most famous misrepresentation being that of Pocahontas. Frequently, the "Indian Princess" stereotype is paired with the "Pocahontas theme" in which the princess "offers herself to a captive Christian knight, a prisoner of her father, and after rescuing him, she is converted to Christianity and live with him in his native land."[3] The phrase "Indian princess", when used in this way, is often considered to be a derogatory term and is deemed offensive to Native Americans.[1]
In Native American Pow wow culture, some competition titles for girls or young women might include the name "Princess", but this is of a wholly different context and meaning than the above usage.[4]

Background
Origin of the Indian princess stereotype
In the 17th and 18th centuries, American colonial culture portrayed the American Indian woman as a symbol of the mysterious new world and freedom.[5] In paintings and engravings, North America was personified by the symbol of the Indian princess, who wore a feathered headdress, gripped a bow and arrow, and was often depicted in pursuit of freedom.[6] Sometimes, the Indian princess was pictured leading troops of American colonists into battle. In later years, she could be seen cloaked in the American flag.[6] This appropriated symbol of an Indigenous woman relied not only on ideas of freedom, power, and wildness but, paradoxically, loyalty to the white man.[5] These themes can be seen in modern media renditions of the Indian princess; for example, in portrayals of Pocahontas, who has been defined by her noble savage connection to nature and her debunked rescue of John Smith.[5] Though the image of the "grand and liberated" Indian princess was commonly used to epitomize America; other icons and accounts depicting and denigrating Native and indigenous women as savages and squaws [sic] were still publicized and accepted.[5]
