The aim of this article is to analyze the literary production of Leslie Marmon Silko. Belonging to the Laguna-Pueblo Nation, she is a good representative of how old stories have permeated modern narrative methods. Then, Native myths of the South-west intermingle with a triple colonization, creating a new cultural product.
