Abstract
This essay explores the possibility of hope in dark times. It considers comic and tragic visions of hope in several major writers. In an effort to follow Hannah Arendt's advice to understand a predicament by making it strange enough to see it with new eyes, I turn to the Crow tribe and their most famous chief, Plenty Coups, for a form of "radical hope" that can only be accessed by being open to forces that operate beyond conscious rationality.
