    "Laughter is the language of the soul," Pablo Neruda said.

Following two centuries of broken treaties and virtual government extermination of the "savage redmen, " Americans today have recast Native Americans into another, equally stereotyped role, that of eternal victims, politically powerless and weakened by poverty and alcoholism, yet whose spiritual ties with the natural world form our last, best hope of salvaging our natural environment and ennobling our souls.The truth, however, is neither as grim, nor as blindly idealistic,
