Performing “Indigenous Shakespeare” in Canada: The Tempest and The Death of a Chief
Bibliographic record
Abstract
frAMiNG the disCussioN: iNdiGeNous perforMANCe Culture iN CANAdA W hile Indigenous theatre cannot be confined to its particular ethno- graphic and political dimensions, much Indigenous drama and literature continues to contend with the concerns of Indigenous communities, most prominently Canada's colonialist legacy. 1 Emerging as a force in the 1980s, 2 Indigenous theatre has, over the course of the past thirty years, come to operate as a crucially important site in the collective feminist and intercultural struggle against racialized, gendered violence.Indigenous playwrights regularly employ a "decolonial" approach that represents violence as an overt reminder of colonization.They mount representational, discursive opposition to those colonial tropes that have misrepresented Indigeneity generally and Indigenous women particularly.Such tropes have contributed both to the perpetuation of broad-based social dismissal of Indigenous peoples and to racialized and sexualized violence. 3As Irish-Algonquin playwright Yvette Nolan asserts in various interviews, because there is "no such thing as post-colonization at this point" (in Dempsey 2009, 25) 4 it is essential that "much of [Indigenous] theatre is about colonization" (in Aboriginal Media Society 1996, 13). 5Comparing Nolan's 2008

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
