peter falk Posted April 2, 2005 many native american societies had a heyoka, or sacred clown. they typically did things the opposite way of cultural or societal norms. this either induced hysterical laughter or profound teaching. they're considered important because thjey teach us to question our own values or show us our own darksides in an acceptal context. american culture has them too. a couple of modern examples are lenny bruce and johnny knoxville of jackas fame. Â i usaully find myself in this roll in whatever communities i join, byu i yield to the super heyoka powers of ron jeremy on this list. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
