Imagine my delight when I picked up the latest issue of my fav lefty mag This Magazine and saw Terrance Houle featured in the Arts & Ideas section. The article discusses this interdisciplinary media artist's latest interactive performance project Casting Call.
Casting Call (which I took part in during imagineNATIVE Film Festival's co-presentation at the Trinity Square Video Gallery last October) is an filmed audition for Natives playing Non-Natives acting in a Native role.
"Open casting call for First Nations, Native American, Métis, Half-breed, Quarter, Indian Princesses and Princes, Powwow Dancers, Powwow Drummers, 1/8th’s, Rez, City Indians, Aboriginals, Status, Non-Status, Red Indian people between 15 and 100, both male and female, Young, Middle-Aged and Elders. Acting experience a plus, but not necessary."

Native roles are precisely what Houle is interested in, and has remained interested in. I interviewed him for Spirit Magazine for their Summer/Fall 2005 issue where he told me: "I always has people saying 'Oh is Terrance still doing that Indian thing?' I think this phase is going to last my whole life."
It seems Houle will always be doing 'that Indian thing' and art fans and curators all over the world thank him for it.
