We Had a Little Real Estate Problem

The Unheralded Story of Native Americans & Comedy

Kliph Nesteroff

Explore the little-known but significant story of how Native Americans have influenced and advanced comedy, despite being denied representation in the entertainment industry. From the forced tours of the late 1880s to contemporary comics smashing stereotypes, this book features interviews and detailed profiles of seminal figures like Will Rogers and Jonny Roberts, as well as current comedians like the 1491s, whose satire is earning critical acclaim. With exhaustive research and original interviews, this book pays tribute to a neglected legacy and highlights the joy and laughter that is very much a part of Native culture.
