Lisa Tatonetti intervenes in this conversation with \u003ci\u003eWritten by the Body\u003c\/i\u003e by centering how female, queer, and\/or Two-Spirit Indigenous people take up or refute masculinity, and, in the process, offer more expansive understandings of gender. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eWritten by the Body\u003c\/i\u003e moves from the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century archive to turn-of-the-century and late-twentieth-century fiction to documentaries, HIV\/AIDS activism, and, finally, recent experimental film and literature. Across it all, Tatonetti shows how Indigenous gender expansiveness, and particularly queer and non-cis gender articulations, moves between and among Native peoples to forge kinship, offer protection, and make change. She charts how the body functions as a somatic archive of Indigenous knowledge in Native histories, literatures, and activisms-exploring representations of Idle No More in the documentary \u003ci\u003eTrick or Treaty\u003c\/i\u003e, the all-female wildland firefighting crew depicted in Apache 8, Chief Theresa Spence, activist Carole laFavor, S.
