Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of California, Davis, 2009.

My dissertation consists of the connections between 1960s Native American activism and various venues of performance studies fields. Specifically, I address the connections between scholars who have written extensively on bodies, power relationships and political performance and the research that has been previously conducted on the termination and relocation era of the 1950s and 1960s, the Alcatraz Island occupation, and the wide body of Native American literatures that have stemmed out of and respond to, this recent history in the United States. Furthermore, I argue that one may think about Native American physical and social existence, in discussions of their felt sense of experiencing and coping with bodily/cultural imprisonment in 1950s and 1960s urban settings through Michel Foucault's prisons/body/power relations research, Pierre Bourdieu's "habitus" and Judith Butler's "performativity." Erving Goffman's and Richard Schechner's performance research on performances in everyday life/life as theatre and human behaviors, Victor Turner's "social drama" theory and Charles Tilly's and Sidney Tarrow's contentious politics/performance research in particular, serve well in discussing Native American struggles to gain cultural empowerment for sovereignty and self-determination in the Bay Area during the 1950s and 1960s.

520 $a In my work, I also make significant reference to Native American history researchers such as Troy Johnson, Adam "Fortunate Eagle" Nordwall, Susan Lobo and Donald Fixico who have written extensively on the negative effects that termination and relocation had on Native Americans during the 50s and 60s and their activist occupation of Alcatraz Island as a response to their urban socio economic conditions. It is through these writers that I explore the overall question about the ways in which one can view performance studies as potentially contributory to how scholars can understand Native American resilience in their ability to have recreated their cultural identities in relationship to and in response to their experiences with termination and relocation in the United States, with their repeated takeovers of Alcatraz Island as symbolic to this aim. These abovementioned scholars motivate my theoretical foci throughout the course of my six chapter analyses.
