1491s

The 1491s are a group of Indigenous writers, comedians, and creators who produce satirical videos, skits, and commentary to highlight Native American experiences and challenge stereotypes. Named after the year before Columbus’s arrival, their work blends humor, history, and social critique to promote awareness, cultural pride, and conversations about Indigenous issues often overlooked or misunderstood. They use comedy as a tool to educate and empower, making complex topics accessible and engaging for broader audiences.
