Tomahawk chop

Okay kiddo, have you seen people at sports games make a chopping motion with their arms and yell "woohoo" at the same time? That's called the tomahawk chop!

It's a way for fans to cheer on their team and show support. The tomahawk chop often goes along with a special chant or song that fans sing together.

The chop comes from Native American culture, specifically the use of an axe called a tomahawk. People used to use tomahawks to chop wood, hunt animals, and even in battles. So when fans do the tomahawk chop, they're pretending to swing a tomahawk in the air like they're about to chop something.

Some people think the tomahawk chop is disrespectful to Native American culture because it's using a stereotype as a way to cheer on a sports team. This is why it's important to be respectful and thoughtful of all cultures!
