Funny, You Don’t Look Like One: Observations from a Blue-Eyed Ojibway

This is Taylor’s first of what has become a series of collections of humorous articles, essays and columns. The material here covers a wide array of issues pertaining to Aboriginal life, often giving a very humorous take on a topic. Topics include life on the “rez”, mosquitoes, TV programs, movies, books, art, relationships, powwows and the Department of Indian Affairs – each contains that subtle touch of humour. Taylor describes his collection as “simply the ideas and observations of a Native person living in this country we call Canada: the good, the bad and the ugly.”
