The power of humor in Indigenous activism
Humor in Native culture has never been simply about entertainment. Comedy is also used to fight cultural invisibility and structural oppression.
Nate is a thoughtful and brave person. If I lived in Philly, I’d vote for him! Either that or I’d write in for a cheese steak!
I am Nate’s Dad and I am very proud of the work he is doing and has done in the past, using nonviolent means of expression to call attention to and begin the process of making change here and around the world. His twelve day hunger strike in front of the White House to protest the genocide in Darfur at the height of the infamy there may have only created small ripples, but change happened and a new country has come into existence. One never knows what impact such ripples may have. His willingness to undertake the very difficult challenge of taking on an incumbent is perhaps making a bigger splash: if he doesn’t win I hope that his efforts will have influenced his opponent to consider the issues he has raised and to move in a more progressive direction.
