Without Reservations: The Cartoons of Ricardo Cate

Cat hits on the irony native people feel and express in humor. Larry Cespooch Ute Indian filmmaker Cartoonist Ricardo Cat describes Indian humor as the result of us living in a dominant culture and the funny part is that we so often fall short of fitting in. His cartoon column Without Reservations is a popular daily dose in the Santa Fe New Mexican. Actor Wes Studi says Cats cartoons serve to remind us there is always a different point of view or laughing at every day scenes of home life where Indian kids act just like their brethren of different races. Without Reservations is always thought-provoking whether it makes you laugh smirk or just enjoy the diversity of thought to be found in Indian Country.
