Description
Summary:	Native Visual Sovereignty positions performance and theater as origin points for the development of contemporary art by Native American, First Nations, Métis, Inuit and Alaska Native artists. The book identifies two foundational moments, the beginning of the Self-Determination Era sparked by the occupation of Alcatraz Island by the Indians of All Tribes in November 1969 and the publication of the vanguard document Indian Theatre: An Experiment in Progress by the Institute of American Indian Arts, which launched the new Native theater movement. This reader, a compendium of existing critical texts, newly commissioned essays, oral histories and contributions by artists, documents the shift from the Self-Determination Era to current modes of enacting sovereignty in visual art, performance, sound and theater.
