'Vaudeville Indians' on Global Circuits, 1880s-1930s

Christine Bold brings to light forgotten histories of performers Indigenous to Turtle Island (North America) in vaudeville and, by extension, popular culture and modernity. Their fascinating stories reveal vaudeville as a space in which the making of western modernity denied and relied on living Indigenous presence.
