"The tribe we’re from doesn’t even wear that type of headdress," he added, noting that the specific regalia worn by Holden was merely a costume piece.”

Tribal Chairman Kenneth Kahn, of the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians, issued a statement Thursday to the Santa Ynez Valley News.
“We are aware that a young member of our community attended a Kansas City Chiefs game in a headdress and face paint in his way of supporting his favorite team. Please keep in mind that the decisions made by individuals or families in our community are their own and may not reflect the views of the broader tribal community," Kahn said. "As a federally recognized tribe, the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians does not endorse wearing regalia as part of a costume or participating in any other type of cultural appropriation."
