| dc.description.abstract | This project uses fracture as a framework to analyze and visualize the devastation that settler colonialism has wrought on Indigenous communities, specifically through the history of Yaqui people, my ancestors. Utilizing Yaqui history and stories, I frame Indigenous storytelling as a critical method to (re)write oneself out of and beyond the fractures in order to (re)claim the losses, gaps, and absences through an intentional tracing of the lines left behind by family, ancestors, stories, violences, and ghosts. In order to further disrupt institutional violences and conventions and (re)claim a voice and story beyond them, I have interrupted scholarly writing with various creative forms, such as narrative and poetry, as well as family archives in the form of letters, photos, and, essentially, my father’s memoir. | en_US |
