    The understated power of reading contemporary Indigenous literature in Canada, a White supremacist nation by Halimah Beaulieu B.A. (Communications), Simon Fraser University, 2009 B.A. (English), Simon Fraser University, 2009 Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the Equity Studies in Education Program Faculty of Education © Halimah Beaulieu 2020 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Spring 2020 Copyright in this work rests with the author. Please ensure that any reproduction or re-use is done in accordance with the relevant national copyright legislation. Approval Name: Halimah Beaulieu Degree: Master of Arts Title: The understated power of reading contemporary Indigenous literature in Canada, a White supremacist nation Examining Committee: Chair: Lucy Le Mare Professor Dolores van der Wey Senior Supervisor Associate Professor Ena Lee Supervisor Assistant Professor Daniel Heath Justice External Examiner Professor First Nations and Indigenous Studies University of British Columbia Date Defended/Approved: April 23, 2020 ii Abstract This thesis offers a textual analysis of three contemporary novels by Indigenous writers in Canada – Tracey Lindberg’s (2015) Birdie, Katherena Vermette’s (2016a) The Break, and Eden Robinson’s (2017a) Son of a Trickster. Informed by critical Whiteness studies, scholarship on settler colonialism, and reader response theory, I argue how contemporary Indigenous literature facilitates the social and political transformation decolonization requires. When approached with prior knowledge about past and ongoing colonialism, the stories written by today’s Indigenous authors disrupt the settler national myths that normalizes White supremacy in Canada and demands introspection on how settlers perpetuate colonial violence against First Peoples. Their stories extend possibilities for transformative learning by re-centering Indigenous epistemologies and ontologies, and by reframing kindness, reciprocity, and kinship as human obligations.
