they,

That is was a signature quote from the late emcee, Henry Green Crow. I guess you would call it extreme Indian humor.




I have been up late nights (actually early mornings) at powwows and heard the raunchy humor come out. Definitely not for the faint hearted or politically correct.

I have also heard emcees comment on the origins of powwow dances and had people say, "What the #&$?, Where did they get that from?"


Anybody else hear something similar?
