They are the people ancient custom would have preferred as his teachers” (Evasdaughter 285). Old Ku’oosh’s statement is ironic because Tayo was raised by the Laguna and was taught the ways of the Laguna by full-blood Lagunas – his uncle and his grandmother yet old…

3). This foreshadows the stories to come that explain why the old-time people think this way. It shows that her grandmother and other elders like her don’t consider physical traits an important feature to one’s personality. It also acts as a small sense of resolution for the conflict created in the beginning. Silko then goes on to describe the views and ways of the old-time people.

Storytelling is a part of the Indians’ tradition. Different stories that explained why and how things are the ways they…
