Abstract:

Storytelling is a means of fostering a sense of identity, belonging,
and continuity. Through stories, Indigenous peoples understand and
interpret the world, and learn how to survive in spite of external
forces such as colonialism. Storytelling has been studied by many
scholars across myriad disciplines; however, its importance in dealing
with trauma and in shaping identity demand further study. This volume
contributes to an understanding of the importance of storytelling in
shaping identity and healing trauma, and as a method of resistance
among Indigenous peoples in North America. The book will attract
readers interested in Native North American studies, Canadian studies,
and cultural studies. In particular, the audience will include
scholars investigating the importance of storytelling and its impact
on healing and resistance among Indigenous peoples in Canada and the
United States. The contributions in this volume cover a wide range of
media: fiction and non-fiction works, documentaries, poetry, activist
work, movies, and TV series.
