Summary This video, featuring an all Native American cast and filmed in the sacred Black Hills of South Dakota, dramatizes the Trickster storytelling tradition, delving into the humor and visual language of this central Native American cultural icon. The prankster figure in Sioux mythology functions as a creative vessel, engaging with both the sacred and the profane, while offering 'humor' as something 'holy' for discovering values. The video brings the ancient Trickster mythology into the 21st century through its own journey into these primal concepts of creativity and play
