Resumen: Este artículo se centra en las obras teatrales, Grandma y Grandpa (1984) del dramaturgo nativo, Hanay Geiogamah, con la intención de reflejar cómo los personajes indígenas a menudo se encuentran en medio de una confrontación entre la cultura nativa y blanca que intentan reconciliar. Por una parte, es importante para ellos preservar sus tradiciones nativas y su identidad indígena; por otra parte, también ven necesario adaptarse a los cambios y costumbres de la sociedad moderna occidental, consiguiendo así una especie de conciliación entre ambas culturas que les permite asegurar su perpetuidad cultural y existencial a través del teatro nativo contemporáneo.
Palabras clave: teatro nativo, tradición nativa, cultura indígena, representación, sociedad occidental.
