I thought that it was intriguing to read about how language and storytelling is used among the Pueblo people. Silko's emphasis on language portrayed a fusion between the the two different societies. This fusion is unique because it represents how the stories have been able to unify the Pueblo people through change and time. By keeping the past alive, the Pueblo people have been able to keep their ways of life alive, in this case their way of speaking.
It is interesting to think how these stories have been passed down for so many years and still remain true to the past. I like how Silko says that by storytelling and by keeping true to the "boundless capacity of language," people can come together no matter the differences.
