This article examines the politics of representation in Thomas King’s indigenous narratives by analyzing his short stories in One Good Story, That One and his essays in The Truth about Stories: A Native Narrative. In his writings, not only does King criticize the process of building a modern nation-state in Canada, particularly the ways in which colonizing governing ideology becomes dominant in the process, but he also attempts to construct narratives that can contribute to (re)conceptualizing indigenous peoples’ identity. This article is particularly concerned with the ways in which King’s representation of indigenous narratives serves as local narratives that can run counter to a colonizing central or national narrative. This study hopes to show how King seeks to articulate resistant local voices by indigenous peoples and contributes to (re)gaining the spatio-cultural and political position of indigenous peoples’ narratives in Canada. Furthermore, it will assist us to (re)discover and (re)consider a cultural and political topography of indigenous peoples in Canada, in the situation that voices of indigenous peoples have long been marginalized, distorted, and erased.
