ABSTRACT

Over the last 45 years, Spiderwoman Theater, the Native feminist performance trio, has built new worlds on stage through their method of storyweaving. The 2017 interview with Artistic Director Muriel Miguel (b.1937) and Jo Reed at the National Endowment for the Arts details their patchwork method. This framing essay seeks to describe their work through a practice of rematriation, caretaking for Native women's realities at the heart of theatre-making.
