♪ Tatanka: Man, feel that power.

That's important, you know, to feel that connection when we're here from the ancestors.

Jesus: Yeah.

Tatanka: They say when you come down here you just kind of-- you want to take a handful and just let it run through your hands like this.

Then you kind of wash your hands with it.

Just wash them like you're washing.

-Like that?

-Yeah, just like that.

-I just made that up.

-OK. -I just made that up.

-All right.

Cool.

-That wasn't real.

-I fell for it.

That wasn't real.

I was about to scrub my head and everything, get a little bit of, like, hey, run it through your hair.

Tatanka: Take a full bath down there.

That's stuff that I put in my comedy is, like, people believe anything we say when they come here.

How many Natives ever been the only one around a bunch of non-Natives sometimes?

What happens?

You become that Native representative, huh?

[Laughter] Huh?

You become that designated shaman.

Bird flies over.

Haah!

Then they all look at-- "Ohh!

That's you."

Then, they expect us to be bird experts.

"What kind of bird is that, Indian?"

[Laughter] Then you don't want to look stupid, you know?

You don't want to let down your people.

"Uh"... [Laughter] "that's an eagle."

[Laughter] Some dirty old pigeon or something.

Jesus: It's cool that you incorporate that into your comedy because you're using comedy as a vehicle to educate at the same time while you're speaking your truth.

Exactly, yeah.

It is a good vehicle.

Non-Native people, you know, assume things, which come off, you know, almost disrespectful, and the comedy makes it look like, "Oh, man.

I am stupid for thinking that or assuming that," or something like that.

I don't blame the person.

It's America's education about Native American people.

You know, there is none.

You know, we're two pages sometimes in the history book when we are the history book, you know what I mean?
