This is for my American Studies class which is a writing intensive course. We had to choose a contemporary performance or event that
integrates decolonial responses by BIPOC or Minority communities. For this paper, I have chosen the Merrie Monarch Festival which is a Hawaiian event that takes place every year.
I have already done a draft going. Feel free to make changes and add on. If you want to, you can start the paper from scratch.
It is on a google doc. I made the doc so that it can be accessed by anyone with the link.

The requirements for the paper is as follows:
Analyzes the performance or event, and provides the
context for which the Indigenous performance is conducted, (the significance of
decolonial expression in the spaces it is performed, what issues it is addressing,
integration of non-traditional media or music, what form the performance takes…etc.)
and provide how these performances or practices enable Indigenous communities to
address militarization, colonialism, and tourism.
You will be required to interrogate at
least five of the readings from the semester in your final paper and have up to eight
sources cited throughout your work.
For the readings for this semester, I already used some in the draft. I will attach more to this but you don’t need to use all of them, but the ones you use, make sure to note on the doc. I need at 5 of these readings to be used. You may use more if you want. There are some sources attached to the doc already. You can add more sources on, whether it be a article, book, online somewhere, but don’t add so much more but a couple more. The last page where I have all the sources will be used as a annotated bilography so if you can do that as well, that will be helpful. That is where the readings and sources will go. Also, if you quote something, make sure to quote in the correct format because I don’t want to be called out for plagiarism.
