TribalCrit: Subverting Multicultural Ideology in Contemporary U.S and Canadian Indigenous School Stories

本文从部落批判种族理论（TribalCrit）的角度分析当代土著学校故事，揭示了精英统治、对成功的色盲评价、白色特权和平等机会（Brayboy，2001，2005）。它调查了作者如何部署和颠覆青年成人（YA）学校故事的惯例，以揭露和面对教育背景下持久的殖民遗产，在土著青年运动（例如，一个头脑青年运动;中心为美国本土青年; Anishinabek国家）正在取得进展的时刻。Joy Harjo是第一位成为桂冠诗人的美国原住民，他写了关于“儿童心灵”的土著故事，而IllumiNative则专注于学校课程，以“发展和倡导准确和当代的代表性和土著人民的声音”。

This thesis analyses contemporary Indigenous school stories from the perspective of Tribal Critical RaceTheory (TribalCrit) which exposes as meritocracy, colour-blind evaluations of success, white privilege, andequal opportunity (Brayboy, 2001, 2005). It investigates how authors deploy and subvert the conventionsof young adult (YA) school stories to unmask and confront enduring colonial legacies in educationalcontexts in a moment that Indigenous youth activism (e.g. One Mind Youth Movement; Center for NativeAmerican Youth; Anishinabek Nation) is gaining ground. Joy Harjo, the first Native American to becomePoet Laureate, writes of Indigenous storytelling focused on "the hearts of children", and IllumiNative isfocusing on school curricula to 'develop and advocate for accurate and contemporary representationsand voices of Native peoples'.
