Long known as the Cannibal Dance, the Hamat sa is among the most
important hereditary prerogatives of the Kwakwa ka wakw of British
Columbia. Drawing on published texts, extensive archival research,
and fieldwork, Writing the Hamat sa offers a critical survey of
attempts to record, interpret, and prohibit the ceremony. Such
textual mediation and Indigenous response over four centuries
helped transform the Hamat sa from a set of specific practices.
into a generalized cultural icon. This meticulous work illuminates
how Indigenous people contribute to, contest, and repurpose texts
in the process of fashioning modern identities under settler
colonialism.
