Answer:

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]
