I illuminate this method by analyzing how the 1974 " blaxploitation Western " Thomasine and Bushrod imagines settlement. Cultural representations that reconfigure colonial-occupied life as settled life naturalize settler colonialism while erasing and displacing Indigenous claims to land. Whereas much of the scholarship on Native representations in film has been concerned with Hollywood's promulgation of the " mythical Indian, " I argue that a focus on settlement-rather than on bodies-is significant in the context of the ongoing, unfinished processes of colonialism, which continue to structure life in white settler states. This article develops a method for analyzing Indigenous erasure in popular film that focuses not on the representations (or lack thereof) of Indigenous peoples but on representations of settlement. The paper is a call to rethink drag creativity beyond assumed transgressive aesthetics, and to critically engage with racial and settler colonial formations. I argue that Raja’s act as the ‘Native,’ after Lumbee drag queen Stacy Layne Matthews’s elimination from the show, demonstrates how queer people of colour can become complicit in settler colonial processes. To do so, I theorize how Raja, the winner of season 3, performed, imitated, and appropriated indigeneity.

The paper traces the workings of settler colonialism that shape drag creativity through the TV show RuPaul’s Drag Race. Drawing on these critiques, this paper contends that drag as an art form can reproduce the racial and colonial logics of the settler state. Scholarship on drag demonstrates that drag as a performative practice that seeks to challenge gender and sexual normativities is often not beyond the logics of hegemony and normativity. Many scholars argue for an epistemological shift from romanticizing marginalized politics and praxis to understanding them within a spectrum of resisting and reproducing normative and dominant power structures.

The texts address coloniality and our critiques of the field, expanding and complicating our understandings of fiber and textile histories, calling out whiteness and privilege inside and outside the field, and including models of decolonization and upsets of known hierarchies.
