Summary:

Take complex issues like Indigenous identity, politics and racism, then wrap them up with one-liners, guffaws and comedic performances. The result: Redskins, Tricksters and Puppy Stew, director Drew Hayden Taylor's laugh-a-minute road trip through the world of Indigenous humour. This film hilariously overturns the conventional notion of the "stoic Indian" and shines a light on an overlooked element of Indigenous culture - humour and its healing powers.
