"...tells the story of how Indigenous people are using media tactics or interventions in art, film, television, and journalism to disrupt national narratives and rewrite them from Indigenous perspectives. Accounts of strategically chosen movements such as survivor testimonials at the Truth and Reconciliation Commission combined with conversations with CBC reporter Duncan McCue and artists such as Kent Monkman bring to life Brady and Kelly's powerful argument that media tactics can be employed to change Canadian institutions from within, one intervention at a time. As articulations of Indigenous sovereignty, they can also spark new forms of political and cultural expression in Indigenous communities." (back cover)

Contains interviews with Terril Calder, Dana Claxton, and Kent Monkman.
