Comedy and Indigenous Survivance in the Music of Keith Secola

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This essay argues that Keith Secola’s music evidences survivance through its comedic discussion of what it means to be Indigenous within the modern US. Examining two of Secola’s most popular songs, “NDN Kars” (1992) and “Fry Bread” (1996), and through an author’s interview with Secola, this essay investigates how humour demonstrates survivance through the versatility of Indigenous peoples and cultures.
