Mainstream Canada’s current passion for Indigenous narratives is often overshadowed by Eurocentric interpretations, curtailing these narratives’ transformative potential. Both
Literatures, Communities, and Learning and
Performing Turtle Island respond to this colonization of Indigenous stories in literatures and the performing arts, respectively. They delineate strategies for critical engagement and culturally responsive methodologies that strive not only to decolonize, but also to reclaim while navigating the paradoxes of working in settler-colonial structures.
In
Literatures, Aubrey Hanson (Métis) interviews nine Indigenous writers from diverse heritages, generations, gender identities, and preferred genres, all with teaching backgrounds. A professor at the University of Calgary’s Werklund School of Education, Hanson shapes the collection as both an Indigenous literary studies project and an Indigenous education project. She investigates how Indigenous literatures can contribute to the self-determination and health of Indigenous communities since they embody interrelationships between each author and their kinship networks, personal and community histories, and Indigenous intellectual traditions. She sets out to learn about these authors’ perspectives on “writing-in-relation”—with no misguided claim of exhaustivity or representativeness, but by following a chain of connections. Thus, the collection adopts a chronological order that reflects the order of the interviews as they were conducted with the various authors: Richard Van Camp (Tłı̨chǫ); David Alexander Robertson (Cree); Katherena Vermette (Métis); Warren Cariou (Métis); Lee Maracle (Stó:lō); Sharron Proulx-Turner (Métis); Daniel Heath Justice (Cherokee Nation); Tenille Campbell (Dene/Métis); and Marilyn Dumont (Métis).
