This is a bit more of a serious video. I first read this story about 2 years ago and it's stuck with me ever since. The story comes from the Kiowa tribe and I read it in a book, "Our Hearts Fell to the Ground: Plains Indians' View of how the West was Lost." The book is a collection of primary sources of Native Americans from the Great Plains. The main deity (more commonly known as hero figure) of the Kiowa people has an encounter with the personification of Smallpox. Saynday has to use some classic Native American trickster figure thinking to get out of this mess.
