Recent developments in aboriginal playwriting and performance in the cultures of the so-called settler colonies (particularly Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United States) challenge critical strategies by which mainly white scholars synthesize cultural histories.' In particular we are faced with the challenge of understanding our complicity in the historical processes of colonization which have suppressed aboriginal responses-both by repression and under the guise of encouragement. An exploration of some of the problems of that process of explication may determine how they shaped the terms of the controversy that followed in the wake of the 1991 revival of the Canadian Cree dramatist Tomson Highway's play Dry Lips Oughta Move to Kapuskasing
