Abstract:In 2017, the Kika'ige Historical Society, an Indigenous women's performance troupe based in Guelph, Canada, created Tabling 150 in response to celebrations of Canada's sesquicentennial. Tabling 150 presented an opportunity for Indigenous women to engage in truth-telling amid celebrations of settler-colonial nationalism. By taking on personas of the "Grannies of Confederation," a play on the title of the well-known painting The Fathers of Confederation, the performers participated in Native feminist spatial practice, creating new orders through felt theory, presencing, and enacting refusals within their time and place in the academy. Drawing on interviews with the performers, we examine questions of the felt experience of doing Indigenous artivist resistance. Data from the participant performers was inductively coded, revealing four prominent themes: connecting with ancestors, taking space as resistance, community solidarity and empowerment, and Indigenous women's work in spatial practice while Indigenizing the academy. The analysis revealed that performance is an effective tool for calling out Canada's mistreatment of Indigenous Peoples at Confederation and the social inequities encoded into Canadian law during a period of settler-colonial celebration. The collective act of truth-telling by Indigenous performers strengthened a community through which it became safe to reflect upon and challenge colonial norms.
摘要:2017年,加拿大圭尔夫(Guelph)的土著妇女表演团体Kika’ige历史协会(Kika’ige Historical Society)为庆祝加拿大建国100周年,创作了《table 150》。第150号提案为土著妇女提供了一个机会,让她们在定居者-殖民民族主义的庆祝活动中讲述真相。通过扮演以著名画作《联邦之父》(the Fathers of Confederation)命名的“联邦祖母”(Grannies of Confederation)的角色,表演者们参与了本土女权主义的空间实践,通过感觉理论、在场和在学院的时间和地点制定拒绝来创造新秩序。通过对表演者的采访,我们考察了土著艺术家抵抗的感受经验问题。来自参与者表演者的数据被归纳编码,揭示了四个突出的主题:与祖先的联系,以空间为抵抗,社区团结和赋权,以及土著妇女在空间实践中的工作,同时将学院本土化。分析显示,表演是一种有效的工具,可以呼吁加拿大在联邦对土著人民的虐待,以及在移民-殖民庆祝期间写入加拿大法律的社会不平等。土著表演者讲述真相的集体行为加强了一个社区,通过这个社区,人们可以安全地反思和挑战殖民规范。

Abstract:In 1688, five Timucua Native chiefs wrote a brief letter welcoming the new Spanish governor to La Florida, or so the accompanying Spanish translation of the letter suggests. The original Timucua words tell another story. Combining two methodologies, linguistic anthropology and history, we seek to offer more than a new translation of a neglected seventeenth-century Native-language text. First, we examine the ways in which the Timucua letter-writers used their language. We show the select grammatical and rhetorical strategies Timucua writers used to make arguments, communicate displeasure, and express themselves by comparing the 1688 epistle with the only other surviving Timucua letter, written in 1651. Second, we ground the letter in its historical context. Placing the 1688 Timucua epistle alongside other letters and dispatches from the time, we explore the different ways Timucua people made sense of the violence and disruptions affecting their homelands. Centering Timucua words and experiences shows the limits of colonial control and, more importantly, the powerful possibilities afforded by working with Native language texts.
