As others are saying, all videos of the song Half Breed is disabled, except two. These are either in a foreign language by a person who is not Cher, or a very poor quality live show. It is almost as if they are deliberately are trying get people to listen to these, these alone. All involved should be blacklisted from all business, and driven to Iran where their kind live.
The song tells the story of a young woman who is half white and half Cherokee. The song describes the troubles she faced, and the way she experienced racism. White people often called her "Indian squaw" and the Native Americans never accepted her because they told her that she was "white by law." (Cher herself is part-Cherokee.)
I think the whole point of the song is to demonstrate the point of view of a person who is caught in between two cultures and feels they don't have anywhere to belong. I'm quite sure NO-ONE in tribal meetings calls anyone a sqauw - just as no one in any local government would call a woman a b*tch or a c*nt. It's a vulgar expression for a woman - and the lyrics of the song never indicate that any Cherokee called Cher a sq*uw, it's says the "The White Man always called me "Indian Squaw"
It's just that the use of an item that is considered sacred in a way (the headband) should be for truly ceremonial purposes. And as a half breed, I can say that NO ONE calls a native american woman squaw, it's just so very vulgar and offensive. As a person of native american heritage I find the unhonoured use of the headress offensive, and the lewd attire she wears in the video helps along stereotypes against my fellow native american women.
I do like the song though, the video is incorrect.
@Lenningson Cher is acutally only a quarter part indian. on her mother side and she is a muscogee not Cherokee
