Native People in English-Canadian Drama / Struggle Against the Stereotype: Native People in English-Canadian DaamaDebenham, Diane Elizabeth January 1988 (has links)
Until quite recently, native people in English-Canadian drama have been portrayed by non-native playwrights. Stereotypes such as the Indian maiden and the noble savage were the early result of this white perspective. In the liberal climate prevailing after 1950, non-native dramatists perceived the native as a doomed figure struggling
to survive in an alien culture. This tragic but static view has gradually given way to a more positive depiction of a people who, although badly wounded, have nevertheless
endured. This new perception owes a great deal to the work of native playwrights, who are finding their own voice and celebrating their own culture and traditions. / Thesis / Master of Arts (MA)
