Number of Pages 5

This research paper: This is a 5 page paper discussing the process of healing of the character Tayo in the novel “Ceremony” by Leslie Marmon Silko. Through Tayo’s interactions with three of main characters in the novel, namely Ku’oosh, Montano and Betonie, Tayo is able to understand that not only do the white man medicines not work on Tayo but neither do the traditional healing ceremonies work on the modern Pueblo Indian as demonstrated by Ku’oosh. Montano teaches Tayo the power of natural elements in his healing process but it is not until Tayo meets Betonie, the modern day medicine man does he realize that it is the fusion of traditional and modern day elements that make the strongest healing regimen. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
