Reichenau i.M., im März/March 2010 _________________________________ 4 1. Introduction In the winter term 2007, I attended a literature course with renowned Canadian writer Ted Blodgett called ‘The Canadian Prairie Novel’, the reading list of which also contained a work by a Native writer, Thomas King. The book was called Green Grass, Running Water, and I found it so funny and intelligent, so full of witty criticism of colonial structures that I still regard it one of the best books in my collection. The thing that struck me most was his use of a character I didn’t know before: The Trickster, a figure from Native North American mythology that was totally different from any other clowns I had ever encountered in literature before. Roughly one year later, when I had to decide on a topic for my final paper, I remembered King’s novel and developed the idea of investigating the humour of North American Indian authors. Together with my tutor, Prof. Carmen Birkle, I narrowed my approach down to three authors: Thomas King, Drew Hayden Taylor and Tomson Highway. In this paper, I will take a close look at several novels and plays written by these authors, focussing on what methods they use to make us laugh and what topics they are addressing with their humour. My initial thought was that they most likely use problems in modern-day Native communities, such as alcoholism and the atrocities of the past as a basis for their jokes. But is this all or is there more to it? The second part of this paper is be devoted to answering this question. At first, however, I will give a short overview of the different approaches of explaining humour, a task that sounds much easier than it actually is, and the most important stages in (white) American literary humour as well as works by Native authors. A thorough report on the traditional forms of Native North American humour, especially the character of the Trickster will provide a sufficient theoretical background for understanding the humour of the authors in question. My thanks for helping me write this paper go to Prof. Carmen Birkle for her learned tips and eagle-eyed correction skills, to the employees of Vancouver Public Library for providing me with plenty of material which sometimes wasn’t easy to find, to Ted Blodgett for introducing me to Thomas King and thus, to Native North American humorists as such and 5 last, but not least, to Mr. Christopher ‘Boss’ Woolgar of London, GB, for proof-reading the early chapters of this paper. 2. On Humour 2.1 Terminology Whenever a writer deals with the indigenous peoples of the North American continent, one problem must be addressed before starting the actual inquiry and that is the question of how to refer to those peoples. Mary Ahenakew in the Smithsonian Institution publication Do all Indians Live in Tipis from 2007 claims that the terms ‘American Indian’, ‘Indian’, ‘Native American’ and ‘Native’

Abstract This dissertation develops a concept of mnidoo-worlding, whereby consciousness emerges as a kind of possession by what is outside of ‘self’ and simultaneously by what is internal as self-possession. Weaving together phenomenology, post structural philosophy and Ojibwe Anishinaabe orally transmitted knowledges, I examine Ojibwe Anishinaabe mnidoo, or ‘other than human,’ ontologies. Mnidoo refers to energy, potency or processes that suffuse all of existence and includes humans, animals, plants, inanimate ‘objects’ and invisible and intangible forces (i.e. Thunder Beings). Such Anishinaabe philosophies engage with what I articulate as all-encompassing and interpenetrating mnidoo co-responsiveness.

  • Nation with in a Nation in Tomson Highway's the Rez Sisters
    International Journal of English Literature and Social Sciences, 5(3) May-Jun 2020 |Available online: https://ijels.com/ Foreign and Reserve Life Hand in Hand: Nation with in a Nation in Tomson Highway’s The Rez Sisters Maggy Clemence B.ED, English (4th semester), Calicut University Teacher Education Centre, Koduvur, Palakkad, Kerala, India. Abstract— This papers focus on the dual existence of the concept of Nationality which is generally referred as the “Nation with in a Nation”. When we trace the early orgins of Canada, the result would be a wide separation of two cultures, the reserve culture and the foreign culture. One such division is further reflected in ‘The Res Sisters’ a famous work by Cree Canadian writer Tomson Highway. The plot revolves around the life of seven sisters who were subjected to reserve life. Their life wasn’t a bed of roses, their hurdles that was artificially created by the white immigrants .The play glorifies the rebellious attitude of the reserve ladies, the intervention of a male counterpart named Nanabush. Nanabush itself is the blurred conscious minds of the woman whose support heals their wounds. Race and ethnicity can also be implored further to stress the discrimination with in the Nation. Keywords— Nation with in a nation, Race and Ethnicity, Discrimination, Cultural Limitations. I. INTRODUCTION played the role as trickster.

  • LINES and CIRCLES the "Rez" Plays of Tomson Highway
    LINES AND CIRCLES The "Rez" Plays of Tomson Highway Denis W. Johnston WriTHOUT QUESTION, the most important new Canadian playwright to emerge Уin thTITe Hlatter half of the 1980s has been Tomson Highway. In less than three years, and with only two major plays, Highway has joined a select group of playwrights whose new plays, sight unseen, are treated as significant cul- tural events by Canadian critics, scholars, and audiences. The two plays, The Rez Sisters and Dry Lips Oughta Move to Kapuskasing, both won the coveted Dora Mavor Moore award for the best new play produced in Toronto, the former for the 1986-87 season and the latter for 1988-89. Tomson Highway says his ambition in life, and therefore presumably in his plays, is "to make 'the rez' [reserve] cool, to show and celebrate what funky folk Canada's Indian people really are."1 In this, The Rez Sisters and Dry Lips Oughta Move to Kapuskasing have been wildly successful, attracting enthusiastic audiences, both white and Native, far beyond the real-life reserve where The Rez Sisters was conceived and first performed. To non-Native critics, myself included, Tomson Highway is an exotic new figure in Canadian theatre. Born on his father's trap-line in northern Manitoba, he spoke only Cree until going to a Catholic boarding school at age six. In high school in Winnipeg he became a musical prodigy, eventually earning university degrees in English and music while studying to be a concert pianist. After graduation, how- ever, Highway abruptly jettisoned his musical career and spent the ensuing seven years working with various Native support organizations.

  • Recovering Canada: the Resurgence of Indigenous Law
    RECOVERING CANADA: THE RESURGENCE OF INDIGENOUS LAW Canada is ruled by a system of law and governance that largely obscures and ignores the presence of pre-existing Indigenous regimes. Indige- nous law, however, has continuing relevance for both Aboriginal peoples and the Canadian state. In this in-depth examination of the continued existence and application of Indigenous legal values, John Borrows suggests how First Nations laws could be applied by Canadian courts, while addressing the difficulties that would likely occur if the courts attempted to follow such an approach. By contrasting and com- paring Aboriginal stories and Canadian case law, and interweaving polit- ical commentary, Borrows argues that there is a better way to constitute Aboriginal-Crown relations in Canada. He suggests that the application of Indigenous legal perspectives to a broad spectrum of issues will help Canada recover from its colonial past, and help Indigenous people recover their country. Borrows concludes by demonstrating how Indige- nous peoples' law could be more fully and consciously integrated with Canadian law to produce a society where two world-views can co-exist and a different vision of the Canadian constitution and citizenship can be created.

The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada DE-6 (2/88) ABSTRACT In this thesis I will examine the critical and popular success of playwright Tomson Highway. Highway's two published plays, The Rez Sisters and Dry Lips Oughta Move to Kapuskasing. are taught on university and high school syllabi across the country and abroad, as far away as Copenhagen. These two plays have also been performed in Canada virtually from coast to coast. These facts are interesting in and of themselves, but specifically when taken into account with the fact that Highway is a Cree playwright, born in northern Manitoba, who didn't become fluent in English until reaching his teens.
