Kindly asking again what 1491 is all about??
I did a google seach which returned links for a book called '1491'. What am I missing?

1491 refers to "pre-Columbus"

I really like their Represent series. It can raise awareness to non-natives, without being too serious. It allows people to see many of us as we are today (students parents, coworkers, etc), and dispels some of the stereotypes that all NDNs look the same, wear our regalia 24/7, live in the past, etc.

They did a few videos that weren't well executed and were met with a bit of controversy, but I think they were taken down. Otherwise, I really like a lot of their comedies, and some of their humor rings true. Their Avatar vid reminds me of an exaggeration of a few families I know.

They're a comedy group, a internet series on Youtube. Don't know if the name has any meaning but they're a hit and miss --more hits albeit-- otherwise just sit back and have a laugh. I know some skits are a demeaning but most comedy skits are, they do sprinkle some awareness in there with the REPRESENT series and every now and then they will voice some concerns of Native issues in the country today.

You can either think they're funny, or not...

I have a couple favorites, but some are a little too OUT THERE for my funny bone.

click on the videos

um wait, a little louder....


CLICK ON THE VIDEOS!!


can you hear me now? lol

OK smartass reply aside...
Other than clicking on the videos above (which I did on my first visit to this thread)...not really humorous IMHO as they seem to be more of a mocking of NDNs than anything else...sort of like all those random younger NDNs posting YouTube videos acting stupid and laughing at common things in the NDN life and culture. After I made a comment about a few of the more disgusting ones, I was accused of 'trying to be one of those traditional Indians' (like that is a bad thing). Shouldn't we all be striving to be traditional as that is how our culture and people in general will know enough about our world to pass down further the things that make us who we are?
My questions were what is this series, who makes them, where are they originally broadcast from....you know all the relevant things that would make a newer member fully understand more about the series and perhaps be more inclined to be more interested in them.

**not trying to be an unpleasant person in posting this particular comment, just seeking more information about it and adding that we all find things funny that not everyone else would**
