Native Humor: Native Christmas memes and comics to get you into the holiday mood

You know you love memes … here are a few Native-style, we found some, we made some …

We all love the internet cannon fodder known as memes. Those sarcastic, funny, one-panel comic photos that people make and share on social media. Some are pretty famous even.

In order to get you into the holiday spirit, albeit a bit spiced with a bit of sarcasm, here are a collection of Native-themed Christmas memes or one panel comics we found or were made. If we have the photographer’s name we will include it, otherwise we found the meme in the annals of the internet.

Enjoy! And happy holidays!
