"In the radio series Dead Dog Cafe Comedy Hour, three native characters have a radio show, but they don't know anything about radio. There's Jasper Friendly Bear, the optimist of the group. We don't know what he did before starting the radio show, but since then he has talked about becoming a paparazzi photographer and opening a bank at the cafe. There's no end to the good that Jasper can do for the country as a whole. Then there's Gracie Heavy Hand, who is more pragmatic than Jasper. She's very "down to earth" and as a business woman she's very supportive of Jasper - when it stands to make her some money. Then there's Tom Kin, who gets to play himself. He thinks he's cerebral. He also thinks that he understands both native and white culture, but he doesn't really understand either. At the Dead Dog Cafe, the talk is lively and the coffee's always on and you never know who will drop in. "--Container.
