프리텐디언은 1960년대 이후 크게 늘어났는데, 다양한 이유가 있지만 [[인디언 절멸정책]]이 끝나고 원주민의 부족주권이 인정되면서 북미 원주민 문화에 관한 관심이 살아난 것과 때를 같이한다. 이 당시 백인들이 심취한 [[히피]] 문화와 [[뉴에이지]] 문화에서는 원주민 문화를 주류 문화에 대한 대안으로서 접근 가능한 영적인 문화로 마케팅했다. 진짜 원주민들은 이에 반발하여 [[1990년 인디언예술공예법]]을 통과시켜 미국 국내에서 원주민 예술 및 공예품에 대한 [[허위광고]]나 [[부당표시]]를 금지하게 만들었다.

원주민들은 이 문제를 매우 민감하고 심각하게 받아들이지만 북미 주류 사회와 언론은 이에 관해 크게 무지하며, 최근까지도 그러하다. 2000년대 이후 이 문제가 주류 언론에서 조명되기 시작하면서 프리텐디언 문제가 널리 인식되기 시작했다.
