This edited volume comprehensively explores narrative survival in Indigenous film and literature, forging a literary and transitional approach to native writing. It navigates the evolution of Indigenous voices, spanning the oral tradition and literary forms from colonial times to the present. It covers a range of issues related to indigenous inequalities and diversities in film and literature. With chapters from global perspectives, including North America, Canada, New Zealand, and South Asia, it ensures an inclusive exploration of indigenous narratives. The diverse chapters address topics such as the aboriginal experience, residential school legacy, the invisible nation of Algonquins, tribal songs, decolonial futures, caste, survival narrative, trauma, and other marginalized groups such as low castes, linguistic minorities, and Adivasis (tribals). The book focuses on innovative concepts to understand the study of a particular indigenous group in isolation from others and more than the conventional comparative study of different indigenous groups. It deals with the challenges of achieving local indigenous rights and identities. It is a valuable resource for social science and humanities scholars, particularly for indigenous scholars, development professionals and administrators interested in the issues related to social diversity and indigeneity in a global setting.
