Those books, piled on my desk, floor, and bedside table, have variously angered, inspired, and enlightened me as I worked my way through this project, but I am grateful for their company and conversation. Luckily, I had a number of generous professors who kept funneling these books my way and enthusiastically discussed them with me, not least of which were the members of my dissertation committee. James Cox, my director, offered unflagging enthusiasm and guidance and asked just the right questions to push me into new areas of inquiry. Lisa Moore, Gretchen Murphy, John González, and Deborah Paredez lit the way towards this project through engaging seminars, lengthy reading lists, challenging comments on drafts, and crucial support in the final stages. Other members of the English department faculty made a substantial impact on my development as a teacher and scholar.

    NATIVE AMERICAN THEATER: A CONCISE HISTORY SIDONÍ LÓPEZ Universidad Internacional de La Rioja [email protected] HANANE BENALI American University of the Middle East [email protected] 93 1. Introduction Although contemporary Native American1 theater emerged during the second half of the 20th century, its origins draw from an extensive oral tradition which was mainly based on Indian traditional storytelling. Stories of all kinds about Native tribes and cultures were passed down from generation to generation for purposes of education, entertainment and the preservation of the Native American cultural heritage. Most of these stories were performed and dramatized by Indian storytellers for their audiences, suggesting the first literary, historical and cultural antecedents of contemporary Native American theater. When American Indian writing emerged in the 18th century, Native Americans went from telling stories to writing them down, using different literary genres, such as the novel, poetry, autobiography and short story. However, indigenous theater was absent in Native writing during this period and the multiple reasons given for this nonexistence usually reflect a long history of silencing, discrimination, oppression and displacement exercised towards the genre. Therefore, it was not until the second half of the 20th century that Native American playwrights and various indigenous theater companies started to write and produce Native plays, leading to the emergence of contemporary Native American drama. The proliferation of Native theater plays continued well into the 21st century with scholarship starting to be miscelánea: a journal of english and american studies 54 (2016): pp. 93-111 ISSN: 1137-6368 Sidoní López prominent in the field, paving the way for the consolidation of a diverse, vibrant and evolving genre that continues to expand, making itself more available to both Native and non-Native audiences.

  • These Hills, This Trail: Cherokee Outdoor Historical Drama and The
    THESE HILLS, THIS TRAIL: CHEROKEE OUTDOOR HISTORICAL DRAMA AND THE POWER OF CHANGE/CHANGE OF POWER by CHARLES ADRON FARRIS III (Under the Direction of Marla Carlson and Jace Weaver) ABSTRACT This dissertation compares the historical development of the Cherokee Historical Association’s (CHA) Unto These Hills (1950) in Cherokee, North Carolina, and the Cherokee Heritage Center’s (CHC) The Trail of Tears (1968) in Tahlequah, Oklahoma. Unto These Hills and The Trail of Tears were originally commissioned to commemorate the survivability of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians (EBCI) and the Cherokee Nation (CN) in light of nineteenth- century Euramerican acts of deracination and transculturation. Kermit Hunter, a white southern American playwright, wrote both dramas to attract tourists to the locations of two of America’s greatest events. Hunter’s scripts are littered, however, with misleading historical narratives that tend to indulge Euramerican jingoistic sympathies rather than commemorate the Cherokees’ survivability. It wasn’t until 2006/1995 that the CHA in North Carolina and the CHC in Oklahoma proactively shelved Hunter’s dramas, replacing them with historically “accurate” and culturally sensitive versions. Since the initial shelving of Hunter’s scripts, Unto These Hills and The Trail of Tears have undergone substantial changes, almost on a yearly basis. Artists have worked to correct the romanticized notions of Cherokee-Euramerican history in the dramas, replacing problematic information with more accurate and culturally specific material. Such modification has been and continues to be a tricky endeavor: the process of improvement has triggered mixed reviews from touristic audiences and from within Cherokee communities themselves.

Thompson A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Anthropology Chapel Hill 2009 Approved by: Valerie Lambert Michael Lambert Patricia Sawin Christopher Nelson John Jackson © 2009 Matthew D. Thompson ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Matthew D. Thompson Staging “the Drama”: The continuing importance of cultural tourism in the gaming era (Under the direction of Valerie Lambert, Michael Lambert, Patricia Sawin, Christopher Nelson, and John Jackson) Issues of indigenous self-representation are of major concern for U.S. tribal nations. For the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians (EBCI) self-representation has meant refashioning the way they are portrayed in a major theatrical production on their reservation. My dissertation investigates the reinvention of the outdoor drama Unto These Hills, produced 1950-2004 in Cherokee, North Carolina, by the White dominated Cherokee Historical Association (CHA) and the role of the EBCI in exerting tribal sovereignty over the formerly non-Indian controlled institutions which produce representations of their history and culture for tourists. In 2006, under Cherokee management, the fifty-seven year old drama was transformed into Unto These Hills… a Retelling. My research explores the social conflicts, negotiations, creative processes and performances surrounding this change as the tribe steered its most public representation of the past from a narrative of accommodation to one of Cherokee nationalism.

  • NATIVE AMERICAN CONNECTIONS at JACOB's PILLOW a Summary Of
    NATIONAL MEDAL OF ARTS | NATIONAL HISTORIC LANDMARK NATIVE AMERICAN CONNECTIONS AT JACOB’S PILLOW A summary of the intersections between the Pillow and Indigenous peoples and traditions of the Americas, compiled by Jacob’s Pillow Director of Preservation Norton Owen. According to the chapter titled “Indians in Becket” by Pillow neighbor Ruth I. Derby in A Bicentennial History of Becket, the Mohicans camped in Becket during the summer months, hunting moose, deer, and bear, as well as otter, raccoons, beaver, foxes, and other small fur-bearing animals. A later Becket history identified descendants of the Muckhaneek, Narragansett, and Pequot tribes. They collected and dried food for the winter and skins for clothing. They also made maple syrup and sugar and taught settlers to do this. They sold the land to settlers in 1736, though the plans weren’t accurate and Chief Konkapot was upset that traditional hunting grounds were inadvertently included in the property transfer. This discrepancy was later settled with an additional payment that covered all lands west of the Westfield River. There are reportedly Indian burial grounds off George Carter Road, near Jacob’s Pillow. 1933 – During its first summer of Pillow performances, the repertory of Ted Shawn and His Men Dancers includes the Osage-Pawnee Dance of Greeting and a Shawn solo, Invocation to the Thunderbird. 1934 – Ted Shawn revives his Hopi Indian Eagle Dance, originally part of his full-length 1923 production, Feather of the Dawn. A new group work, Ponca Indian Dance, is presented for the first time. 1936 – The first act of a full-evening work, O Libertad!, opens with a section titled Noche Triste de Moctezuma and also includes other sections about Native Americans of the Southwest.

  • Native Americans in Brooklyn Primary Source Packet
    NATIVE AMERICANS IN BROOKLYN PRIMARY SOURCE PACKET Student Name INTRODUCTORY READING The people encountered by the Europeans in the 1600s called themselves the Lenape, which loosely translates as either “the common people” or “the ancient people.” They called their homeland Lenapehoking and their communities reached from the Lower Hudson region to the Delaware Bay, including portions of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware. To other tribes in the region, they were known as “grandfather” because of their ancient roots in the region. In the early 1600s, at the time of European contact, their population was around 20,000, divided into roughly twenty autonomous groups, closely interconnected through clan membership, Turkey, Wolf, or Turtle, which was traced through the mother. The Canarsee and Marechkawieck of the Lenape tribe lived in what is now Brooklyn. Clan lands and dwellings were “owned,” or held in trust for the clan, by the women as heads of households. The concept of shared land use was fundamental to their society – and utterly foreign to the European system of land ownership and leasing. The rise of the European system in North America would prove devastating to the Lenape, whose communal identity was rooted in a land of fluid natural boundaries. When the Dutch arrived in the 17th century in what is now New York City, their encounters with the Lenape were, at first, mostly amicable, according to historical records. They shared the land and traded guns, beads and wool for beaver furs. As the myth goes, the Dutch even “purchased” Manahatta island from the Lenape in 1626.

  • American Indian Theatre and Performance
    American Indian Theatre and Performance By Courtney Elkin Mohler, Ph.D. Santa Clara University Despite centuries of political obstacles, restrictive policies, and United States cultural imperialism, a robust and vibrant American Indian theatre exists today. There are multiple definitions of what comprises American Indian theatre, drama and performance, stemming from multiple historical, political and traditional perspectives; contemporary dramatists and performers grapple with these ranging definitions and perspectives through their plays and productions. Some of the current cultural, political and artistic issues associated with American Indian theatre include topics such as representation, authenticity, cultural empowerment, and practical production concerns. Defining the Genre There are multiple issues surrounding the genre of American Indian theatre and its history; the boundaries and limits of the form are instable and often contested by Indian and non-Indian theatre specialists alike. Some theatre historians include plays by non-Native writers that represent Indians, while others define the genre as plays written by American Indian playwrights, performed by American Indian actors, for American Indian audiences. There are similar debates over periodization. Some scholars feel that traditional performance practices that were indispensible to Native cultural life and predate European contact should be included in, or even, define the genre; others mainly focus on plays derived partially 1 through hybrid cultural experience, placing

    Performing Memory, Transforming Time History and Indigenous North American Drama Birgit Däwes It is important to . connect our stories of the past to our future. Our future is the generations who will take their stories out into the world of the new millennium and who will create a new legacy for their future generations. This is the “Persistence of Memory.” —Muriel Miguel, “Director’s Notes on Persistence of Memory” I Indigenous drama and performance constitute—along with storytell- ing—the oldest literary genre in the Americas.1 Ranging from the ancient Kwakiutl mystery plays to the Hopi clown dances, performa- tive traditions have been primary modes of cultural expression all across the continent. In the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries, some of these traditions were transformed into pan-tribal and more secular art forms, such as pow wows, pageants, or scripted plays, which also incorporated European American and Asian theatrical styles. When Lynn Riggs gained mainstream popularity in the 1930s (albeit largely without reference to his Cherokee heritage) and the first pageants were performed at the Six Nations Reserve’s Forest 1 © 2013 State University of New York Press, Albany SP_DAW_Ch 00_001-016.indd 1 9/28/12 1:51 PM 2 Birgit Däwes Theatre in Ontario, Canada, in the 1940s, the path was paved for a contemporary Native theatre movement.
