 Analysis of language in the creation of a historiography under construction 
This article displays the results of the thesis undertaken for my master’s degree. It captures the historiographical construction of the Anishnabeg artist, Nadia Myre. It is an analysis of 147 texts written about the artist. Thus, the center of my thesis is captured by the question: “What type of dialogues surround the artworks of the female Indigenous artist?”. To answer this question, I took both a quantitative and qualitative approach. The first allows us to evaluate the key moments of her career and the second section uses textual analysis to better understand external perspectives. Although the research was about a contemporary artist and the texts were written between 1996 and 2016, some retain essentialist perspectives on the Indigenous identity. By that, I refer to the wrong use of certain terms, conceptions fixed in time or even reproducing stereotypes. These linguistic usages crystallize into erroneous visions of Indigeneity, especially in a romantic way. The questions of language, colonization and reappropriation are the main lines of research.
