Moment of Silence: Charlie Hill

Charlie Hill has passed away.  He was a famous Native American comedian.  I found him through his protegees, tracking backwards; this guy is behind the entire NA humor field and invented a lot of the jokes that tribal people tell.  He was truly touched by Coyote, and they are doubtless sitting at a campfire together now, laughing at each other's turd jokes.

"Here rests a mountain
We called him Charlie Hill
His skies are blue and filled with life
His eyes are bright and shining still
Coyote's laughter sings within
Because we sat with Charlie Hill"
