To be Indigenous in 1993 is difficult, states the author, but it is even harder to be (or claim to be) an Indigenous artist, as critics are quick to sink those who do not “fit” their expectations. Nevertheless many artists move forward as giving up is not an option. The author discusses several preformances that were criticized by the media, namely Indigena, The Rez Sisters (in French) and À temps pour l’indian time.
