"Humor is
widely used by Indians to deal with life. Indian gatherings are marked
by laughter and jokes, many directed at the horrors of history, at the
continuing impact of colonization, and at the biting knowledge that living
as an exile in one's own land necessitates. . . . Certainly the time frame
we presently inhabit has much that is shabby and tricky to offer; and
much that needs to be treated with laughter and ironic humor."

Family Finds Lakota Oral History A rare, original oral history of Indian life has surfaced in the Twin Cities and it's one of the oldest known examples of its kind. In 1910, Lakota Chief Martin White Horse dictated stories about his community, located on a reservation in South Dakota. After the oral history, called a winter count, was typed up, the transcript went into storage. There it lay for decades, forgotten about. |
