This podcast will talk about the Navajo culture in Ceremony by Lislie Sikilo and the oral stories in the book. The argument is the oral traditions in the novel are the Native Americans understanding the creation of the world and racism. The podcast also explored the possibilities of Takyo's PTSD and his understanding of Native Americans traditions and culture. The podcast opens with the explanation of the book and the history of the Navjo people. My reasoning to pick Native Americans culture over other cultures because the literature itself don't get enough exposion or reconciliation. I used to help get it more recognizable.
