Synopsis Native Americans have been challenged in maintaining their culture since the white man first set foot on the North American continent. However, they have in many, diverse ways continued to maintain their culture and historic, cultural traditions (Kuiper 109). There exist many literatures that support these views. In the Ceremony, Silko reveals that though the Pueblos cannot disregard the force that the whites have had on their customs, they cannot entirely ditch their old ceremonies and still carry on culturally. In his view, the solution to continued existence is created in letting native Pueblo rituals adjust to meet the present veracities of reservation being. Thomas King’s work and life history demonstrate flexibility and mobility of Indigenous groups and societies, and links that stay strong even as the people relocate to other places. According to Kings, Indians who relocate do not die out, nor does the disappearance from their ancestral society predict a loss of legitimacy. In “The Man to Send Clouds” by Silko, Native Americans smear old Teofilo to organize him for his passage, and they too request the cleric to spray holy water. The cleric becomes immensely displeased, as the Native Americans fail to conduct suitable rituals for a Christian funeral. In this account, Silko demonstrates that while Native Americans have been manipulated by European customs and values, they endeavor to uphold diverse features of their Native American customs and ideals. This paper discusses these accounts in detail, starting with the Ceremony by Silko, Borders by Thomas King and finally, “The Man to Send Clouds” by Silko. Main Body In the novel Ceremony, Silko describes the dying out situation of the Laguna customs subsequent to World War II. The terrain is destroyed by an overspill from the uranium quarry, and a cohort of juvenile Pueblo men is shattered by the battle (Silko 242). These juvenile men initially enrolled in the army for two key reasons. First, they thought that it would aid them in breaking off feelings of lowliness, and second the militia assured them the chance to observe the globe and be received into conventional America. Three emblematic youthful Pueblo namely Rocky, Emo and Tayo, think they have lastly gained admittance to the white humanity when the military enlistee informs them that they can as well join the fight (Silko 64). Instead of presenting a new life to the youthful men, World War II devastates them. Tayo suffers from post-traumatic stress ailment, which white drug has been incapable of healing. Emo turns out to be a drunkard and Rocky dies while combating the Japanese. In his hunt for treatment, Tayo initially resorts to alcohol, thus joining other Indian veterans and Emo (Silko 53). However, Tayo does not heal by engaging in activities of violence and drinking, which are strange to his Indian culture. Instead of telling customary narratives regarding persons association with gods and the world, the Indian veterans give accounts of sorcery in the new humanity, which has deceived them into trusting it is acceptable. Tayo subsequently tries to get cure from an old medicine man, who attempts to cure him using the old ritual. He sings in the indigenous language, and tells Tayo that his healing is not merely vital for his good, but the whole humanity, which is beneath the curse of witchery (Silko 86). However, Tayo vomits prior to t
