The author discusses here how the interpretive arts are a source for regeneration and conitnuity. He states that despite centuries of dispossession, erasure and infantilizing political practices, Indigenous peoples have not only survived but remained strong and patient. Despite – once again – the need to culturally adjust to Canadian society, he sees it as a challenge to renew and grow sronger. The interpretive arts – music, song, dance and theater – are, within the modern context, the means for constant individual, spiritual and territorial reaffirmation.
