American literature – Leslie Marmon Silko
Native American author
Activist – feminism and native American rights
Laguna Pueblo – Albuquerque – New Mexico
Born 1948
Ethnic origin – ¼ Laguna pueblo – 1/3 Chicano ¼ Anglo American
Not a full member of tribe and didn’t attend travel meetings etc
She learned about the traditions and stories through her aunts taught
her (full Laguna aunts) she wrote them down and re-presented them
as written texts
...
Thus making them easier to understand
Politics of writing in English comes up a lot with post colonial writers
which come from Native American backgrounds
...
English replaced their native
tongue
...
Language us not the point, what is important is what the speaker is
trying to say, not the language in which they are trying to say it
...
Powerful because she is able,
willing and admirable going beyond conventional norms and normal
behaviors in order to save the tribe
...
She seduced a giant; she uses her sexuality to
save the day
...
A man could not have done what
she has done; only a woman could have done this
...
She never uses her
sexuality to lure men to her doom, she has a joyous and powerful
sexuality, uses it to save the day
...
Beauty is tied up in her actions and not in her physical appearance –
again a contrast to how Anglos perceive beauty
