ABSTRACT
This essay considers how acts of re-memory work against compulsory assimilation and stage fleeting enactments of decolonization. I offer a land-based framework that works at the intersections of critical ethnic studies, queer theory, and Indigenous studies to center settler colonialism within the field. My embodied queer Xicana performance illustrates how acts of re-memory can transform our political and intellectual projects by centering Indigenous social thought. A landbody framework engages Indigenous logics and sovereignty movements to restore right relations with the Land.
