I would understand if it made any native American cringe big time, but it's a pretty innocent thing which is probably borne out of the popular Karl May young adult novels from around the turn of the century which are wildly inaccurate but provide the template for the native American stereotype in Germany.
Yes but cultural appropriation doesn't account for that.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
