Abstract
  • This work examines the decolonial potential of queer and Two-Spirit Indigenous storytelling by telling stories using graphic novel chapters, literary analysis, and graphic analysis. I explore the importance of stories in defining us as individuals, as peoples, and as humans. As a mixed-race Indigenous (unregistered Cherokee) transwoman, I engage with the creation of stories as a form of queer Indigenous worldbuilding and cultural restoration through re-storying. Indigenous and decolonial research methodologies define this work as an examination and creation of Indigenous literature. By utilizing frameworks that connect story to theory, this work engages with the theories within the graphic novel as a work of Indigenous literature through analysis. Like many Indigenous stories, this thesis is about humans and their relationships to the Land and other-than-human peoples/animals, and asks readers to consider what decolonization means in relation to fictional and nonfictional geographies.
