Abstract
Indigenous cultural performance and cultural activities in mainstream social spaces have been given limited consideration by sociologists as acts of resistance. The paper adopts a sociological approach to consider social spaces in which Indigenous cultural performance and cultural activities take place as heterotopic spaces (Foucault 1986; Hetherington 1997). The paper considers these heterotopic spaces as sites of broader political projects of decolonisation, expressions of Indigenous sovereignty, and resistance to the dominance of whiteness. In doing so, the paper attempts to develop ideas around Indigenous resistance in the context of expressions of Indigenous cultural performance and cultural activities.
