I might offer, for those who haven't read it, Ian Frazier's book, "On the Rez," where he gives an interesting take on being a "wannabe." Other than the book being a great read and totally off topic to this, it changed my mind about using "wannabe" as a completely disparaging term.
For whatever it's worth:
Cheers.
