Abstract

The article highlights the significance of the Indigenous meme community networks as digital fan-activism in the U.S. and Canada. Topics discussed include the potential of fan-activism to launch targeted activist campaigns and put pressure on the media industries, similarities between Indigenous fans and other fans of color as racialized subjects, and application of the skills and sensibilities of media fandom and meme production for Indigenous consciousness-raising in Indigenous memes.
