An actor or actress of non-Native American descent who plays a Native American on the screen or stage.

I'm not an Indian, but I play one on TV. So, you're a pretendian? Taylor Lautner, in the new Twilight film, prime example of a modern day pretendian.

One who claims to be Indian but doesn't exhibit Indian qualities or isn't Indian. It can also apply to a non-Indian who hangs around with nothing but Indians. Can apply to both India Indians and Native American Indians.

Steven is such a pretendian.

Any white person claiming to be Native American but has no ties to the culture or ethnic groups. Another term meaning the same thing would be 5$ Indian.

White Guy: My grandmother was an Aztec princess you can tell by my cheekbones and the stories she told me. Any Sensible Person: You’re a pretendian.

A motorcycle styled to look like the classic Indian motorcycles, but made from Harley-Davidson clone parts, or by another motorcycle company (i.e. Kawasaki).

That Pretendian may look like an old Indian, but it's really a Harley clone beneath the sheet metal.
