A Toxic Legacy: Stories of Jackpile Mine

Jacobs, Connie A.

American Indian Culture and Research Journal, v28 n1 p41 Win 2004

Leslie Marmon Silko physically locates the climax of the novel, Ceremony at Canoncito, southeast of the Jackpile Uranium Mine, and so metaphorically correlates this site with witchery. The novel is ultimately the story of Tayo, and how he must restore harmony between the land and his people.
