Across North America, hundreds of reconstructed Oliving historyO
sites, which traditionally presented history from a primarily
European perspective, have hired Native staff in an attempt to
communicate a broader view of the past. Playing Ourselves explores
this major shift in representation, using detailed observations of
five historic sites in the U.S. and Canada to both discuss the
theoretical aspects of Native cultural performance and advise
interpreters and their managers on how to more effectively present
an inclusive history. Drawing on anthropology, history, cultural
performance, cross-cultural encounters, material culture theory,
and public history, author Laura Peers examines Oliving historyO
sites as locations of cultural performance where core beliefs about
society, cross-cultural relationships, and history are performed.
In the process, she emphasizes how choices made in the
communication of history can both challenge these core beliefs
about the past and improve cross-cultural relations in the present.
