Description:Humor has always been a central part of North American Aboriginal culture. Most settlers just didn’t get the joke, and a stern, unyielding profile of “the Indian” came to dominate the mainstream imagination. Indians, it was believed, never laughed. But Indians themselves always knew better. As an award-winning playwright, columnist, and comedy-sketch creator, Drew Hayden Taylor has spent fifteen years writing and researching Aboriginal humor. For Me Funny, he invited a stellar cast of writers from a variety of fields — among them such celebrated wordsmiths as Thomas King, Louise Profeit-LeBlanc and Tomson Highway — to take a look at what makes Aboriginal humor tick. Their irreverent, insightful and often hilarious contributions examine the use of humour in areas as diverse as stand-up comedy, fiction, visual art, drama, performance, poetry, traditional storytelling, and education.Want to know where you stand on the Ladder of Status? How Johnny Six Toes got his nickname? What it's like to be a green-eyed Mohawk? Why Cree is the funniest language on earth? The answers are all in this highly enjoyable collection.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
