The focus in this article is on how to use Indigenous literature well and how to teach about it by using roleplay as an activity. Roleplay is a good activity to use when teaching literature because it aims for meaningful reading and is an activity where interpretations is shown well. I have created a task as an example of how you can use roleplay with Indigenous literature in a classroom and show how literary analysis and classroom discussion can add to this experience. The students use the vocabulary of the culture, are creative, and analyse authentic English texts for things such as the main characters, plot and setting to create a play. These activities allow students to contribute with the knowledge of the cultures gained from the book in the classroom discussion about topic such as intercultural competence, assimilation and cultural identity.
