This course examines representations of the body in Indigenous literature with a focus on decolonization. Over the course of North American colonial history, settlers have employed various strategies to control and regulate Indigenous bodies - the reserve system, disease, human zoos, wild west shows, residential schools, incarceration, Indian Status, blood quantum, and forced sterilization. Beginning with early colonial texts such as the Jesuit Relations as well as foundational legislative texts like the Indian Act and the White Paper, we explore how Indigenous bodies have been and continue to be viewed and regulated by settlers. From Abraham Ulrikab's 1880 writings about his experiences being exhibited in a human zoo in Europe to Joshua Whitehead's cyborg trickster poetics in Fullmetal Indigiqueer, we explore the various ways Indigenous texts reclaim and decolonize the body.
