Özet:

 

These reflections made by Durham, a Native American artist, and Trejo,  a Chicano artist, bear a striking similitude in their attitude toward the  regenerative as well as transgressive power of humor. Scholars in  comparative ethnic studies are well aware of the common history, culture  and political consciousness between Native American and Chicana/o  populations in the United States. Their shared history of displacement,  colonization and marginalization has allowed Native and Mexican  populations in this country to connect in political, cultural and spiritual  ways. Even the traditional markers of difference often established between  Native American and indigenous Mexican peoples are ones determined by  colonial demarcations and imposed borders. The interdependent and  intertwined history between Mexico and the United States further  complicated this distinction. In 1848 with the signing of the Treaty of  Guadalupe Hidalgo between the two countries, Mexico was forced to cede  nearly half of its territory to the United States.
