Mattel released a new Barbie honoring a late Cherokee chief in its "Inspiring Women" series.
But the doll's box has a spelling error that says "chicken" instead of "Cherokee."
AdvertisementA new Barbie doll from Mattel honoring the late chief of an indigenous tribe is seeing mixed reactions in part due to a spelling error on the box.
The doll, made in the image of the late Cherokee Nation chief Wilma Mankiller, was rolled out for Mattel's series of "Inspiring Women" dolls, the Associated Press reported.
Spokespersons from the Cherokee Nation did not immediately return a request for comment from Business Insider on Sunday, nor did a spokesperson from Mattel.
