"Wannabes
http://indianz.com/board/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=18985
http://www.bluecorncomics.com/wannabes.htm
As pertaining to American Indians, Wannabes are non-Indians who pretend to be, copy, emulate or otherwise “want to be??? Indian or affiliated with indians for a variety of reasons including: profit, promoting their agenda (Political, spiritual, ecological, commercial, etc,) and making up for some shortcoming in their own "spiritual" or "cultural" traditions.

Cultural Appropriation
http://encyc.bmezine.com/?Cultural_Appropriation
Cultural appropriation is the theft of rituals, aesthetic standards and behavior from one culture by another, generally by a "modern" culture from a "primitive" culture — often this involves the conversion of religion and spirituality into "meaningless" pop-culture.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_appropriation
Cultural appropriation is the adoption of some specific elements of one culture by a different cultural group. It denotes acculturation, but often connotates a negative view towards acculturation from a minority culture by a dominant culture.It can include the introduction of forms of dress or personal adornment, music and art, religion, language, or behavior. These elements, once removed from their indigenous cultural contexts, may take on meanings that are significantly divergent from, or merely less nuanced than, those they originally held. Or, they may be stripped of meaning altogether.
