This thesis performs Native centered readings of Herman Melville's Moby-Dick and suggests classroom activities that may prompt discussions of Native sovereignty. This paper utilizes a critical framework rather than a multicultural one that generally does not address the unique aspirations of Native peoples. This critical approach includes showing students how power is embedded in readings of texts, how different readings of texts evince vastly different understandings, and how creating texts of their own may be a tool for combatting oppression in their own lives. Students will also see colonialism in a variety of places that they may have taken for granted: in education, in literacy, in mapping, in tourism, and even tattooing. Teachers must make their best efforts to learn how to see the American literary canon from Native eyes if they are to create an anti-colonial environment for all of their students.
