I applaud them for actually dressing Depp as a Native American MAY have looked,[though what I hear even that's debatable] instead of that full on deer suit the original had, but that accent is atrocious! If it's suppose to be in tribute, than it's even worse since the show was noting more than stereotyping NA at the time. Instead of making him sound wise and understanding, it makes him sound stupid and pandering to the white man.

He wanted to be dressed like that because he saw a painting that had a Native dressed similarly with ravens and whatnot.

It was painted by a white guy known for borking up portrayals of us, just saying.

nope, it was Johnny Depp making up the costume.

No one would wear a raven on his head all the time though. He's dressed for an imagined ceremony but seem to be wearing it 24/7. They didn't even try.

No, no one should be applauded for dressing up a white guy in somewhat Native-ish looking costume and trying to pass it off as legit.

Hell, even if they had cast an actual Native guy, it still wouldn't be worth applause because THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO DO.
