"Predentian" is a portmanteau, a word made by blending in that case two words and it combines both the sounds and meanings of the originals, "pre" comes from the word PRETEND and "dentian" comes from INDIAN, in other words "predentian" is a fake Indian, a person who feigns to be indigenous. For various reasons some people have a motive to identify with indigenous peoples, Buffy Sainte-Marie is one of them. In the 60s when she was a young and aspiring musician, her indigenous imago no doubt greatly elevated her career also as a TV star later, it was a common phenomenon at the time and it still seems to be. She was born in Stoneham, Maine, US, her birth name is Beverly Jean Santamaria (family used name Ste. Marie), her father was of Italian descent, mother's roots were in England. This predentian has been fabricating contradictory tales about her ancestry since about her twenties. Once her family tried to correct her nonsense by telling that she is Beverly from Maine, not adopted indigenous child from Saskatchewan, Canada, she then threatened her family with expensive lawsuits, she was already an established star at the time and wealthy enough to destroy them financially with a herd of lawyers - and this was the mildest threat from this sociopathic pretendian. She has now finally been caught and reliably proven to be a swindler after decades of false indigenous ancestry claims.

usually a word placed towards pale skin europeans, claiming indigenous ancestry, claiming DNA tests when they can't place you in a specific region, claiming culture that is not theirs, a nasty being towards real indigenous people.
