- We remember Charlie Hill, a true Native American Comedy Classic! (July 6, 1951 - December 30, 2013) This is a tribute to Charlie Hill who was one of the first, if not the first Native American Stand-up Comedians to be featured on National TV on the Richard Pryor Show, and this was back in 1974, not that long ago. Charlie lead the way for other Native American comedians who followed. He lived and died with honor! This is just a small part of who Charlie was, a Heyoka and a contrary that told the truth with humor. A Husband, a Father, a Brother and a warrior. Thank you Charlie for always telling the truth. Someday history will finally shine down on your light and tell your story.
Trivia/History: For those who doubt what Charlie says about Benjamin Franklin adopting major elements of the Iroquois Confederacy (established 1142) to create Democracy as we know it today, take a little read and bone up on your factual history. Below are a few links, read a little before you post comments about how "you think that this history didn't happen". In this link are another 8 historical reference links to support what Charlie says, read your history before you comment, or you just look uninformed and ignorant.

This man was hilarious! This is my first time seeing him which makes me sad. He should have received more attention while he was alive. May his beautiful soul rest in peace.
I was about to say the same thing!!!i agree with you 100%😭😭😭😭
Hello 🤗👋
I do agree. Seen his comedy in the early 1990s.
I grew up listening to Charlie Hill. Love him ❤️
Native American comic here. I use to do a TV show with his daughter. RIP Charlie. You are missed!
So sad that he died so young - only 60 years old. He should have lived at least until 2050 ! Only heard of him recently! So sad !
“We had a little real estate problem...” That line is SOLID GOLD.
Charlie, thank you for all you have done for our people. Rest in peace .
Why don't you go back to where you came from?!
You're from my backyard.
I feel honored to have enjoyed Charlie's act at the several annual Indian music festivals held in Oakland. He died way too young. But he left a body of work that, thanks to the internet, can be enjoyed and increasingly understood by us folks even w/o the man, himself. I recently saw an old, original "Roseanne" where Charlie was D.J.'s teacher and got in some good licks about Thanksgiving, taught the Connors and, I understand, the show's crew as well, an American Indian dance. .
That is amazing. Do you know the name of the episode?
A true elder. I wish I could have talked to him. Thank you for this video.
Charlie Hill: May your memory continue, and may it continue to bring light, knowledge, and truth, in its humorous way, to all the world.
Charlie you made me laugh. Very funny and down to earth, guy. Your spirit will be with us, through your performances. And videos. R.I.P. Charlie Hill much respect.
I can't believe I'm only discovering this amazing guy TODAY (04/16/20). I shared the link of this video with my parents and my dad replied back: "Oh my golly he died young he was very good" He was even new to my parents!
Guys I just want to say that he was an amazing guy. My mom and his daughter were so close to each other I almost felt as if he were my grandpa. I do miss him dearly everyday.
He was a beautiful man. I feel sorry I didn't see him when he was a live
That's true because when my tribe have a funeral evening though there is sorrow there is humor also
I'm not Native but some of my culture also uses some humor during funerals. Much respect to Native people and I love watching these kind of videos. I can stand being laughed at because the truth is the truth and I am not happy with the way America has treated Native people. Peace to all.
I'm Mexican and it's kinda the same.. well we kind of share a same ancestor lol
First time seeing this guy. Love him. His ancestors were really screwed over.
Comedy that speaks the truth and in doing so it speaks to me.
OMG. If it wasn't for Google I would have no idea who this wonderful brother is. I wish I could have meet this man! What a groundbreaking talent.
"...humble thunder." Wow!! I'm so glad I got to hear this wonderful warrior. Gave me a great perspective of being a native.
Damn.... another legend gone from earth.. but another angel to look out for us..
God bless his family..
"Africans, Arab, Asian, Caribbean European , and Latinos are his family now. God bless em all."
Means ~ God bless the USA.
Brilliant man. I feel in my heart how good he was.
This man was GREAT!!
I laughed & cried!
Thank you!
God bless Charlie Hill. Nothing but love for you my native American brother.
Only recently have I heard a European historian mention the story of the Iroquois Confederacy. And finally I understood where democracy really came from. All that time they taught us (in Belgium at least) that it came from the ancient Greeks, it made no sense. Why would the colonists suddenly pick up a political system from more than a thousand years ago?! It makes a lot more sense that they saw the democratic principles in action. We all owe Haudenosaunee deep respect and gratitude.
And then I came across this clip... I wish I had know him a lot sooner.
Oh, white people LOVE stuff from antiquity, it's probably a combination of looking at a variety of options while trying to build a new system and then having seen democracy work in indigenous society. We're not solely a democracy, we're also a constitutional Republic, which is based on ancient Rome's system of government.
Today is my first time seeing this great man, Charlie Hill through an electronic medium with the help of the book Restoring the Kinship WorldView.🎉❤
Rest in peace Charlie, you were a comedic genius and the very first. Shine on brother
"We have the owner's manual". Love it.
That's amazing.... Pryer and Red Fox. Sir you are blessed.
what a great spirit... telling the truth with humor ... rest with the great spirit Charlie
Bwahaha. The joke at 10:00. It never even occurred to me before how a person with both African American and Native American ancestry could view that situation. "They not only stole his land but made him work on it for free" 😭 very sad but very funny
" ... and if you don't like it in America why don't you go back to where you came from?
So I did, I camped out in his backyard."
🤣🤣🤣🤣 rip Charlie Hill
I'm a proud veteran of the US Army and a Patriot. Natááh'ndé Band Mescalero Apache. Agree- disagree is irrelevant, Charlie always made me laugh and made me proud. He spoke the truth and spoke his heart.
Everyone thinks that "democracy" is what is indigenous, in truth sociocracy is what is indigenous, democracy is about majority rules sociocracy is about consensus.
When we adopted the Iroquoian system of government we took the car but left the motor needed to make it run; sociocracy, with natural law as the rule of law, is the engine block of that motor.
✌️🦅🌲🇺🇲
Thank you Charlie 🇺🇸 ✨ together
What a genuine talent he was. It's sad he's no longer with us. At least we have these clips and such to keep his memory alive.
Charlie Hill is a great comedian ONE OF A KIND!! ❤️❤️❤️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😁😁😁😁
We all need laughter especially in this time, thank you so very much for the greatly appreciated laugh, stay safe and well, God bless much love 🇺🇸🧜🏼♀️💋💘
God bless you too, stay safe!
so sad that i'm just discovering this man, but so grateful for what he left behind. 💕
and his birthday's the same day as mine, too!🎈
Happy Birthday!
2020 and i just found this legend. The use of humour as a vessel to remind the atrocities of the past. Brilliant.
RIP Charlie you were taken to soon.
Yes--I am going to speak as if I am talking to him...because I believe it is possible that he might hear me. I think I have seen you before, I love your comedy and your spirit. I pray I can find more clips of you. I must say, your wife was a very lucky woman. Because you were a BEAUTIFUL MAN, both inside and out. And I believe that your life affected MANY OTHERS!! You have a STRONG and GIVING HEART and a BEAUTIFUL SPIRIT!! ONE OF THE BEST OF THE ORIGINALS!! The factr that you are a fellow Heyoka gives me hope. Rest In Peace MY BROTHER!!!
That's why I call natives the originals!
Hide behind the trees killed me
I'm watching this alone and I've laughed out loud a few times already. I'm typing this during the political ad for Suzy loftdumthin. . .
The owners manual. Facts
damn if the rich dummies will actually read it. much love
I like this fella. 🙂👍
I have a tad of inuit from Canada. I love the native Americans and have done security for them. They were the best imployers I ever had.
Just heard of You. I have missed a True AMERICAN. RIP Charlie Hill.
I was born in the 70s, but I never heard of him. He's a classic. Love his comedy and good looking too. 🤗
What I love about the “Mohawk married a Huron” joke isn’t the punchline, it’s the mere idea a member of the Iroquois married a member of the Huron. It’s like a British marrying a French lol.
With that said, Rest In Peace Charlie Hill.
I'm a comedian who worked with charlie many times! My favorite Charlie Hill joke is...".uh oh....I done pissed off the white folks....they're putting their tables in a circle!"
😂😂❤ funny!!!!!
Charlie Hill, you are the man!! Larry and you, have came into my life, n created a joy i lost. Thank you. Everything happens for a reason. Wow!!!I was born in 1977. Thank you for being here in spirit...n whoever put this on the internet thank you thank you thank you!!!!!
I was so deeply touched by Charlie Hill's humor. He tells wise truths, from the victims' (underdog) perspective, to make us think twice while we take laughter medicine. Charlie must be whooshing around at very high levels of the heavenly expansive, living cosmic consciousness now & for eternity.
Your spirit has been a blessing for me to hear ~ thank you.
A true spirit he is. Good man. Great man.
One of the greatest gifts I have received In this life. Was Four years being with Grandfather Wallace Black Elk...All his teachings..40 of us partook of his teachings.
The greatest teachings that made me love EarthMother even more.
He is s GOAT....Love and thank my people Native or as he sees it the people originals of this land......
Richard P. Cried in his soul a little bit when he introduced Mr. Hill. Money is an illusion.
Charlie Hill your a legend that deserve more attention. I know how Hollywood works. Will these western movies are out style and all Natives lost there jobs. RIP thanks for the legacy you left.
Hallelujah

Journey well grandfathers need to laugh to, guess they wanted you more than us, unbelievable laughing journey cousin..God Bless you. Hill 2020
Too many of us have been called too early by Wakan Tanka
I'm just hearing about him today 7/6/2022. Doggone shame. He WAS funny and REAL. I don't see how some can watch him without having a knot of "feeling like $hit" in their chest.
The best 💯💙
Charlie Hill just found him Dec 27 2022. He's a Mountainous Man, gone so young, too soon, very funny.
RIP Charlie 💜
My grandmother introduced me to Charlie Hill...such memories.
Today Google celebrates this great man. ❤️❤️
🇺🇸🏹🏹🇺🇸 thank you Charlie. For your talent. 🇺🇸 and the land that is one of the strongest land , respect to all Native.
“If only we had metal detectors on Plymouth Rock that shit woulda been nipped right in the bud!” LMAO
You're a beautiful Native American Angel now. We the native Americans will always have the owners manual. RIP Mr. Charlie Hill, your comedy will always stay with us!! Much love to you, Charlie Hill and God bless you!!! Fly free like an Eagle. ❤🙏❤
Wow... I just heard about this man. I love his work. All the best and God bless his family. Jesus loves you and I do too.
Thank you for your humor I enjoyed it.
Okay but I LOVE him.
He was a writer on Moesha!!!!!!
Incredibly talented and hilarious.
Happy to have the chance to see this, and it's sad he died so young. Enjoy heaven with Creator. 🙏
Too bad he didn't live long enough for Standing Rock and the day Wesley Clark Jr knelt down and apologized to Native Americans publicly..and with all those Veterans there too!..I could just imagine what he would say to that..I was blessed to have a high school teacher teach me true history..and I was blessed to meet a Wyandot Native American Named Chief Ticonderoga in Ohio when I was 17..I've remained friends with his wife Tsali..I have a great appreciation for all..and no hate for any..I'm 54 now..and I know I still have lots to learn💕..
I was given an honorary Native name by Hank Stock.. translation White Pony.
Thanks for posting this..👍
Wesley Clark Jr. epitomizes his dear old dad. Seems military people stood down on 9/11. Allied troops RAPED tens of thousands German Girls along with their Mom's and Grandmothers as their "spoils of war". Then they executed many who berated them for their barbarity and then threatened whistleblowers.
Joaquin Hagopian who successfully proved Marine SENIOR Officer corruption in THEIR COURT SYSTEM was Kapernacked and left the Marines thoroughly dismayed
after his brilliant and superb defense. One of the FIRST executive order of the current President was .......Standing Rock
Siego!
What a gorgeous man, especially in his prime...woohoo!
Very funny comedian. It's great how Richard Prior took him under his wing. It must have been fate of 2 Native American Indians the first Richard Prior the Aborigional Native ( who's ancestors were in the Ameticas for over 350,000 years ) and then Charlie Hill the second Natives to make it to the America Two peas in a pod!!! GOD Bless Them Both!
Yes those were the days when we all got along peacefully until 1619.
Loved his comedy and insight.❤
Happy Birthday Charlie Hill! Much Respect!
Hawah! Love from the Turtle Tribe! Thanks for posting this. Y'all are my fave youtube channel. This is a hidden gem
"Stole your land and make you work on it for free" painful humour.
Read your comment right as he did the line.
Love this guy's humor! Rest well.
Okiho coco Charlie Hill.
Hiy hiyo
From me the Good Paleface.
True, we always laugh and especially at each other.
I cant believe that I just found this bc save or parks brought it to my attention. So funny with truth and history. I believe that any point in his career, his humor to tell a true story or make a punch line that punched you correctly 2 ways. He paved the way for people like chappelle. Storys that draw you in and can use truth to make you laugh and learn. Thank you
Amazing, hilarious, and educational.
Charlie Hill is a national treasure 🦅💗🦅✌🏼
I love you Charlie! ♥️ REST IN PEACE DEAR ONE.
Natives invented copyright, too; no European creative person owned their own music or other work before meeting you. You always lead the way down the right road.
Great comedy. Im happy I found you Charlie.
Charlie Hill is a damn riot! Omg I haven’t laughed that hard in at least a year 🤣
He has the same style as George Carlin. Common Sense humor.
I love this and Charlie reminds me of Uncle Kev Carmody here in Oz. Truth tellers both.
All true but funny..! I am Creek and Cherokee .. Love and Prayers sent to you from your friend in Christ AKA the neighborhood Minister Dee. My neighborhood is all of America..
omg i remember seeing him on Carson reruns when i was like 6 or 7 never understood at the time but it was awesome to see him again,. funny man.,
Just got hipped to him, I like him
Yiiiiiiiiiih may the creator bless you in the next world aho
Amazing !!! A true comedy legend !!!
awesome
Just wonderful. Loved it.
when I saw that clip with Pryor, then I knew who he was.
I miss me some Charlie Hill. Such a funny man.
What an Awesome find by (Richard) Pryor...
Only now I hear Mr Hill for 1st time. Great act. Lots of truth in his words which can be echoed by any people around the world who have been conquered. BTW it's not a white man only thing.
Funny and factual,at the same time😂😉 RIP Charlie
