The contemporary urban poetry of hip-hop emcees pieces together a collective memory of space and time through contextualizing Indigenous lived experience such as the residential schools which have perpetuated a passed-down grieving. Through examining the lyrics and the narratives of individual emcees, this project illustrates their collective insights and memories, exposing the activism and intelligence embedded within emcee voicing. My work reveals that emcee practices of mimicry, parody, comedy, wordplay, and the ethic of 'keepin' it real,' disrupt 'discourses of dominance'(Vizenor, 1994), and introduce new ways to speak about the cities as Indigenous space. This project utilizes a fusion of methods including interviewing and discourse analysis to identify how urban spaces are being thought about, navigated, and negotiated. My project includes emcee testimonials that reveal the critically conscious and transformational voicings of hip-hop emcees participating in an oral-based movement which resonates with the oratorical genius and activism of past and present Indigenous leaders. The writing style of this dissertation adopts a storytelling methodology, interweaving poetry, activist, and scholarly writing to mirror the creative dialogue produced within emcee prose in formulating counter-narratives that shape new visions of what it means to be Indigenous in a contemporary urban context. ii DEDICATION This dissertation is dedicated to young artists in the hopes that you know how much you are loved and supported in voicing Eekwolity and hope. You embody the movement with courage, dignity and critical awareness, while pushing boundaries and transforming the ways in which we perceive our realities. in ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Within our historical memory, names have been erased, and voicings have been suppressed. Given this history, it is very important to me that I name in order to acknowledge the generous and wise people that have helped me throughout this dissertation process. The emcees inspiring the work have shared their creative process and their visionings of how the world could be better. I would like to acknowledge, first and foremost, the emcees and artists who have provided honest and powerful narratives. These artists include: Eekwol, Daybi, Theresa Seymour, Wab Kinew, Joey Cappo, Ostwelve, Quese Imc, Kinnie Starr, Rex Smallboy, Carrielynne Victor, Dallas Arcand, Joey Stylez, Jb the FirstLady, Mathew CreeAsian and Wabs Whitebird, Blu and Plex. Through their abilities in 'keepin' it real,' these brave emcees are continuously carving out spaces for us to move in our environments. During the time of writing, I have witnessed many stories shared by strong women whose shared experiences have helped me to nurture myself and those around me while writing. Moments shared with these women have been very meaningful to me and I am tremendously grateful for their generosity in spirit. These women include: May Cotter, Vicki Cotter, Rena Ermine, Edna Manitowabi, Verna St. Denis, Marrie Mumford, Natasha Beeds, Kerry Bebee, Linda Bebee, Vanessa Bebee, Buffy Sainte-Marie, Barb Rivett, Patricia Monture, Molly Blyth, Lynne Davis, Jennifer Kriesberg, and Naja and Swelen (The Weaverbird Collective). I can only hope to contribute songs, stories, and ideas into the world as lovingly and passionately as you all have. I would also like to acknowledge William Kingfisher my friend and colleague for providing much encouragement through sharing ideas, thoughts, and gentle wisdoms. iv Shawn Recollet, thank you for coming into my life and for your kind support during the final stages of this project. I hope to always have you at my side. I am especially and eternally grateful for my mother Vicki Cotter. I cannot begin to express how much you mean to me and how blessed I feel to have your love and support. I could not have done this without you. This dissertation is the culmination of time and much critical attention provided by my committee members: Dr. Lynne Davis (supervisor), Dr. Molly Blyth, and Dr. Neal McLeod. I would also like to thank Dr. Kimberly Blaeser for her diligent review of the manuscript and vital suggestions. I am filled with gratitude for all of your support and I will carry your advice forward into the next stages of my life. v TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract ii Dedication iii Acknowledgements iv Table of contents vi Glossary of terms viii Introduction: Hip-hop's Stories of Survivance 1 Stories of survivance 1 Emcee treatise 4 Chapter One: As she Approaches the Mic - Research, Process and Language. 7 Research goals 7 Methods 9 Discourse analysis as a storytelling methodology 9 Interviewing 13 Language 17 First Nations/Aboriginal/Native/Indigenous 19 Terminology and foundational concepts 22 a) Gerald Vizenor's and Keith Basso's conceptual contributions 22 b) Concepts related to Indigenous 'movement' 26 c) Emcee concepts 35 Introduction to research topic 36 My postionality in relationship to the research 40 Ethical space 41 My research process 45 Indigenous scholarship and Indigenous poetics 45 Chance 52 Performance pedagogy 53 Chapter summaries 57 Chapter Two: Emcees Who-Stories Travel - Emcee Storytelling Techniques and Use of Language 60 Youth and the urban context 60 Relocations and removal 61 The marginalization of Indigenous space and Indigenous spatial consciousness 64 The ahistorical Indian:Youth as threat to 'safe' city spaces 65 Quese IMC: story(ing) the movement 69 Introduction to emcee language and storytelling process 72 Urban Indigenous border crossing 82 vi Chapter Three: Origin Stories & Orality - Indigenous Voicings of 'the Struggle' 87 Genealogies of emcee messagings 88 Origins of hip-hop: socio/cultural context 90 Hip-hop stories of origin within the academy 95 Hip-hop in the prairies and places north of the border 97 African and Native Indigenous oralities: relationships and practices 102 Indigenous hip-hop's internal tensions - the struggle for authenticity 123 Chapter Four: The Transgressional Space of Hip-hop Imbued with a Native/ Indigenous Flavour 144 The spaces from which emcees speak 144 The significance of emcee voicing 160 Cree-ation 164 Emcee transgressions: hip-hop strategies for movement 184 Ruptures through wordplay 199 'Know u'r history': an analysis of temporal & spatial geographies 202 Crew-speak: the hidden text 216 The local: a contested space 220 Chapter Five: Now You See Me, Now You Don't - Rapping Presence While Bordering Absence 227 The authentic Indian 228 Essentialism 228 Transgression & border crossing 232 Aboriginality pushed outside of history 233 Illuminating difference 246 Youth as threat? /or/ dangerous environments? 262 Chapter Six: Caucasian Features or Cheekbones that Cut Glass - Emcee Namings, Identities and Cross-Bloodedness 268 Epilogue: 'Soul Travelling' with Abandon- From Wagon Roads to 'Red Noise' 282 The colonial weight is heavy:

  • Notes on Identity and Politics in the Native American Indian Hip Hop Community
    Native American Indian Hip Hop By Neal Ullestad Native American Indian Hip Hop 2 ABSTRACT Notes on Identity and Politics in the Native American Indian Hip Hop Community 1/25/12 This article raises several questions for analysis regarding identity and politics in indigenous hip hop in the United States. Asking how community, home, land, patriarchy and colonialism affect expressed indigenous hip hop identities, and how pedagogy, affirmation and play are exhibited in Native lyrical content, primarily positive examples are examined. Native American Indian Hip Hop 3 Forged in the creative imagination of identities in resistance to imposed defeat, loss of land and culture, and stereotypes that enable oppression, Native American Indian rappers are today making a positive impact in indigenous communities across the country. Using the most modern musical techniques and sounds, they carry forward elements of the wisdom of the past. Gabriel Yaiva, Diné hip hop artist and activist from Arizona, who listens for wisdom in the “sounds of the ancients,” wonders on “Many Ways to Grow Corn,” “Who’s planning for the Seventh Generation?” (Summer Solstice, 2009) At the same time that he ponders the future, Yaiva pronounces that “there was a time when we had to wait in line to be heard.” That time has passed, and indigenous activists are speaking out, telling their stories and working together in coalitions – with natives and non-natives alike – to take control of their lives, culture and environment. An amazing array of young indigenous people is utilizing hip hop and rap as a vehicle to organize for justice and well-being and to express their Native identities.

  • The Value of Arts Education: How Do We Measure Success in American Society?
    The Value of Arts Education: How Do We Measure Success in American Society? Jan Harasim T. H. Rogers K-8 School INTRODUCTION In an era when public schools are expected to focus largely on testing and statistical measurements to validate success, the value of arts education has once again been called into question. In the political atmosphere of the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) legislative mandate, many schools have chosen to cut the arts out of the curriculum, and deem the subjects of reading, writing, and arithmetic as the most indicative measures of student success. But what quantitative test can ever measure the impact of the arts, and, in particular, music, on the development of a child? We are getting better at finding out the answers, as several scientific studies have found that arts education actually raises the academic performance level of students as well as enhances affective domain outcomes. (Deasy iv) In one such study, published in 1999, researchers from Columbia University Teachers College found that “young people in ‘high-arts’ groups performed better than those in ‘low-arts’ groups on measures of creativity, fluency, originality, elaboration, and resistance to closure … pupils in arts-intensive settings were also strong in their abilities to express thoughts and ideas, exercise their imaginations and take risks in learning” (Burton, Horowitz, and Abeles 36). Students immersed in an arts-rich curriculum demonstrated “the ability to explore myriad ideas, envision and try out unusual and personal responses, consider objects, ideas, and experiences in detail, and be willing to keep thoughts open long enough to take imaginative leaps” (38).

The rise of interest in heavy metal academically reflects the growth of the genre as a normal or con- tested part of everyday lives around the globe. The aim of this series is to provide a home and focus for the growing number of monographs and edited collections that analyse heavy metal and other heavy music; to publish work that fits within the emergent subject field of metal music studies; that is, work that is critical and inter-disciplinary across the social sciences and humanities; to publish work that is of interest to and enhances wider disciplines and subject fields across social sciences and the humanities; and to support the development of early career researchers through providing opportunities to convert their doctoral theses into research monographs.

It is projected that by 2016, 25% of the youth population in Canada was immigrant. While some immigrant youth are on par socio-economically with their Canadian-born counterparts, others face barriers that make inclusion strenuous. First and second generation Black African and Caribbean immigrant youth in particular face social and economic barriers in Alberta.

Sanja Drakulić Osijek, 2019. SAŽETAK Urbana glazba je žanr iz 80-ih i 90-ih godina koji uključuje R&B, hip hop, soul i grime. Danas je, pod utjecajem globalizacije, tržišne ekonomije i slobodnog tržišta, zauzela svoje mjesto u mainstream popularnoj kulturi. Može se reći da ne postoji dio svijeta u kojemu ne postoje hibridni i mješoviti žanrovi i podvrste, posebice hip hopa koji je izdominirao na tržištu urbane glazbe. Postoji svjetska hip hop scena, ali i ona regionalna. Bez obzira na neke različitosti, neke karakteristike hip hopa su posvuda iste. Naime, to je pretežno „crnačka glazba“ koja je utjecala na brojne kulture, a koja je od svojih početaka do danas ostala vjerna svojim tradicionalnim načelima kao što su dance skupine, koreografije, video, festivali, grafiti, break dance, DJ-evi, beatboxing, MCing, sinkopirani ritmovi bubnja, upotreba gramofona itd. Urbana je glazba danas pod utjecajem moćne glazbene industrije i tehnološkog napretka, te je postala u velikoj mjeri komercijalna.

  • CAN WE LIVE and BE MODERN and INDIGENOUS? Toward an Indigenous Hip Hop Culture
    Introduction CAN WE LIVE AND BE MODERN AND INDIGENOUS? Toward an Indigenous Hip Hop Culture In the summer of 2009, I attended an academic conference on the West Coast. It was arid and hot. Held during the evening, we had a fancy gathering with fresh-grilled steak, fish, and all sorts of fancy foods that at the time I was not culturally equipped to know what they were. Not knowing very many people, I got my plate, then scoped out where I was going to sit. I approached a table with what looked like a healthy mix of elders and adults in their early thirties, then sat down. An elder took an interest in me. He was a very tall, handsome, masculine Native (Dine) man. He had long gray hair that glistened in the setting sun; he wore a bolo tie. His hands were adorned with at least three rings on each. And he had a deep voice; he sounded like my uncle. He asked me where I was from (basically, are you Native and if so, where is your family from? I found this a positive approach to the question.). And finally, he asked me what I was interested in academi- cally. I told him that I was interested in the relationship between black Americans and Native Americans during the black-red-power movements. He nodded, searching, I suppose, about how he could follow up with another question or extend the discussion. Sensing the pause, I then casually mentioned that I am interested in Native American hip hop. His head jerked up as if he had a sudden neck spasm.
