The seventh generation of North American Native peoples since the arrival of Columbus is a generation with an urgent mission: the cultural, political, and economic reconstruction of Native communities. The social ills plaguing Native groups due to colonial domination by non-Native communities--alcoholism, violence, and social disintegration--have effects not unlike a deadly epidemic threatening the extinction of Native peoples.

520 $a In this thesis, I examine the use of theatre by Native artists as a tool of social healing, a tool which explores possible "medicine" for the colonial "epidemic." Monique Mojica' s Princess Pocahontas and the Blue Spots "cures" by decolonizing minds, critiquing and re-writing the history and institutions which continue the domination of Native groups by non-Natives. Tomson Highway's The Rez Sisters and Dry Lips Oughta Move to Kapuskasing "cure" with a concentration upon the lived experiences of contemporary Native peoples, suggesting that successful medicine must incorporate economic, political, and social reorganization with the kind of cultural recovery suggested by artists like Mojica. I then contextualize Mojica' s and Highway's work in terms of other contemporary work by Native theatre artists in order to suggest that Native theatre works as a kind of platform for Native political activism. I conclude by suggesting what the directions suggested by these plays could mean in terms of the broader Canadian social and artistic context, and how theatre serves as an appropriate metaphor of this Native/non-Native relationship.
