Also, I’m the biggest supporter of keeping the Chiefs name and Tomahawk chop. I know the lady who owns Warpaint and was absolutely pissed when the Chiefs fired her before the season because of a bunch of idiots crying. Like I said, I’ve never met a single person on a reservation who has ever had an issue with the chop or the Chiefs name. They all have an issue with fans wearing a headdress to a sporting event. Stop giving the idiotic stop the chop movement any actual momentum by being completely obtuse to an obvious cultural appropriation situation.

Not that it matters. But pretty sure when this all came out. The family had made the head dress and did it accurate to their customs.
But honestly that doesn't matter at all. It also doesn't matter if the chairman of the tribe signed off on it or not. It is the families heritage and can celebrate it however they want.
