About the Book
Understanding Indigenous cultures as critical sources of knowledge and meaning, each essay in Performing Turtle Island addresses issues that remind us that the way to reconciliation between Canadians and Indigenous peoples is neither straightforward nor easily achieved. Comprised of multidisciplinary and diverse perspectives, this anthology considers performance as both a means to self-empowerment and self-determination, and a way to dialogue with other nations, both on the lands of Turtle Island and on the world stage.
