“Indigenous Modernities: The Secret History of Vaudeville, 1880s-1930s” contributes to the recovery of a long-neglected community of Indigenous performers, a number of whom were also writers. Working, as a non-Indigenous scholar, with Indigenous research consultants, theatre artists, and archival permissions, she aims to recirculate some of the vaudevillians' scripts and stories through this site, returning these voices to the company of their Indigenous peers.
