    Charlie Hill is just so funny and his humor is so on point that I couldn't stop laughing. Plus I love how he uses his humor to make commentary. Even though he passed away, I hope there'll be more Native American comedians that'll be inspired by him.

    Just saw "Going Native" on Showtime and then I remembered seeing some Native Comedian on David Letterman waaaay back in high school and he was hilarious and totally radical and for about 5 minutes he completely cut loose and did a pared-down but rawer version of the above sketch and then they suddenly cut to commercial and when they came back he was gone and Dave looked scared...it was awesome. Glad I found this and glad to hear he's been busy.

    @JoelSamuel Thank you very much for this. Charlie Hill was amazing. I just typed that I'd been laughing at Charlie since the Richard Pryor TV show from back in the 1970s. I met him a few times and he was such a great guy in person. I'm Native too, but that had nothing to do with it my wife's white and Charlie and she got along better than he got along with me, lol!
    This man was hilarious and he improved as he aged. I liked his edgier stuff in his later days. Charlie worked with Rich Hall on Rich's Inventing the Indian documentary. Charlie was awesome, as was Dallas Goldtooth.
    Nonetheless, thank you very much, or as we say, wado. That's Tsalagi for thank you. 👍😎

    Charlie Hill was one of my favorite comedians. I've been watching him since he was on the Richard Pryor TV show back in the 1970s.
    So, yeah, I'm old and yeah, I'm Native too.
    Charlie crossed over in 2013 at age 62 of nonHodgkins lymphoma. That sucks. He was a great guy, and really nice in person as well.
    Requiescat in pace, Charles Allan Hill.❤

    The best part of this set is when Charlie gives non-Natives a heads up about government: "It's never been cowboys and Indians. That's kind of a myth. It's been government and Indians. Now it's government and White folks and Black folks and all living things. Really, we're really brothers and sisters, man!"

      They don't see us as funny. that stems from the shame of their ancestors, and they carry that with them. I've learned something about are settler friends, while living surrounded by them. they carry their ancestors in the same way that we carry ours. they just don't talk about it. they choose to ignore it, and then act like they just don't understand why the world is they way it is. where we choose to embrace our ansestors, and we can see through to the truth of what being a human being is.
