Cet article vise a etudier de quelle maniere le corps autochtone feminin contribue a la reimagination de la souverainete. Dans le cadre du feminisme autochtone, nous analysons le corps comme une zone de contact dans l’œuvre poetique de Natasha Kanape Fontaine. Il s’agit d’identifier trois strategies du corps – la denonciation de la violence sexuelle et le contournement de l’Histoire officielle, l’affirmation de l’identite autochtone et la creation de nouvelles relations – afin de souligner le role negociateur du corps dans la contestation d’une certaine pensee dominante au Canada. This article aims to study how the Indigenous female body contributes to re-imagining sovereignty. Within the framework of Indigenous feminism, we analyze the body as a contact zone in the poetic work of Natasha Kanape Fontaine. We identify three strategies of the body – denouncing sexual violence and bypassing official History, re-affirming Indigenous identities, and creating new relations – in order to underline the negotiating role played by the body in contesting a certain kind of dominant thinking in Canada.
