“One man can go where a group cannot, and manage on very little, particularly a rough adventurer such as he.

“It was all right when I did it,” I said, “but when you did it, it was wrong.

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…
