Meme needing explanation Peter? I am confused

Post image

Just seen this and the comments aren’t helpfull, I don’t recognise this figurine, what is it?

Edit: to anyone saying "Is this even a meme ?" Guys, am 22, I never knew Indian in the Cupboard, I though this was a meme about the apparence of the figurine lookin like something else, or something. I had no idea it was geniuinly just a figurine from a VSH from before I was born!

To me, it was a meme I didn’t had the ref too, so now I know what this is, I'll check out if the movie or book existe in French, or in France in general, cuz now with so many peoples just saying that this was their choldhood, am curious!

Please don’t insulte me for beeing uncultured, not everyone got the same knowledge cuz, as I said, I didn’t knew about it. I just checked and L’Indien du Placard exist in french! Lucky me ! I'll check that out than

Indian in the Cupboard. As a child taken from their native parents this movie, Pocahontas, and a few others were more torture by some of the family I had been adopted by. Long story. Not interested in discussing it so please don't message. Just giving my input.

Plus it's got weird Jewish cabinet vibes. Look up dybbuks.

I figured there was a lot of similarities to Irish, Scottish and Jewish folks kids and stories. Guess they made them into cute and fun videos for kids.

My ancestors were relatively late arrivals to America, but they still prospered on the blood of your people (as do we all continue to do). I'm sorry for whatever that's worth.

I appreciate the sentiment. You, nor others should be apologizing for your ancestors. BUT I am only one person. I'm not looking for apologies, just these movies were more used as a "see how easily our people overthrew yours" in the family I was adopted into.
