Katy Perry at Coachella: "A sight for Squaw Eyes"
1. The headline: Katy's "Poca face"?
2. The text: "Katy Perry looks a sight for squaw eyes"? and she could have "doubled for Pocahontas"?
3. Her pose: please tell me she's acting demure and not war-whooping?
4. The photo caption: "How girl"?
The Sun managed to wrap four of the most egregious and horrible stereotypes into one little post.
I saw the photo of Perry in her Native-style dress, but that alone wasn't worth a mention. It's the Sun's commentary that makes this a Stereotype of the Month entry.
Incidentally, my guess is that Perry wasn't doing a war whoop, but it's impossible to tell.

No she wasn't doing a war whoop.Katy was doing coy flapper girl poses.I saw bits of this on a music channel that was covering Coachella.
The Sun is the trashiest of all British tabloids with the exception of their Sunday edition News Of The World.
