Aboriginal Shakespeares as Communal Self-Fashioning examines the ways in which Native dramatists and actors fashion communities around, with, and through Shakespeare's works in Canada. These plays draw on pre-contact performance traditions to disrupt the historical relationship between Shakespeare and Canadian national identity by continually negotiating indigeneity as a network of relationships with past, present, and future Native and non-Native communities in Canada. The first chapter, "Thwarting the (Black) Sabbath in Brebeuf's Ghost," argues that Delaware playwright Daniel David Moses writes through the polarized moral worlds of Macbeth and The Jesuit Relations to reclaim Ojibwa cosmologies. As theatre and literature it performs an Indigenous interpretation of early Jesuit missions. The second chapter, "Processing Shakespeare" contends that Algonquin/ Irish playwright Yvette Nolan's Shakedown Shakespeare demystifies Shakespeare as an elite body of institutionalized knowledge and opens up the Shakespeare canon to learners of all ages and backgrounds through the relational epistemology of theatrical performance. The final chapter, "Grounding Shakespeare," reads Death of a Chief as a claim on Canadian theatre spaces through a statement on one of its promotional posters: "Shakespeare's tale of Julius Caesar is unearthed...this time on native ground." I argue that the multiple significances of the phrase "native ground" in Nolan's Death of a Chief indicate physical and conceptual spaces from which Native Earth Performing Arts fashions a pan-indigenous urban community.
