My grandmother told me that joke when I was pretty young. Still gives me a chuckle.

This is great! I want to listen to/watch his entire body of work now.
As an American, I think I may be missing some cultural context in the first joke: what is a "band office employee"?
That Father's Day joke is ... something else. It is both offensive and offensively unfunny!

what is a "band office employee"?
I heard 'banned office employee' which I'm taking in context as a regionalism for somebody who's been laid off.

"Band Office Employee" == "Tribal Council Employee" in USAian terms.

A humourist (could be a more Canadian tradition) think Stephen Leacock.

I call myself a humorist rather a comedian because to me, "comedian" implies performance, either stand-up comedy or acting. For what it's worth.

I heard this the other day on q. I thought Adrienne Wong's apology generator was better as a piece.
Listen for her synopsis and for Shad (the q host) trying out the generator, using his example of being offended that Dr. Oz wears scrubs on his TV show. (Starts at 6:40.)

In this context it's very meta... One of the reasons why First Nations represent some of Canada's more interesting and cutting edge thinking.

I present to you the only First Nations joke that is still acceptable:
Did you hear about the Indian who drank a thousand cups of tea? They found him dead in his tea-pee.
