Language and Literature from a Pueblo Indian Perspective

I thought that Language and Literature from a Pueblo Indian Perspective had a very interesting view on language. The fact that so many groups of people in a small area spoke about seven different languages made words themselves less important than the ideas behind them. They just wanted to get across their stories and the lessons behind them, and this comes through in her writing. Her simple sentences and repetitions do a thorough job in proving her points and sending her messages. I think that the Pueblo's perspective is quite different than other US citizens, where there is a greater emphasis on style and how things are said than the message itself.
