Thirty years since its original publication, Ceremony remains one
of the most profound and moving works of Native American
literature, a novel that is itself a ceremony of healing. Tayo, a
World War II veteran of mixed ancestry, returns to the Laguna
Pueblo Reservation. He is deeply scarred by his experience as a
prisoner of the Japanese and further wounded by the rejection he
encounters from his people. Only by immersing himself in the Indian
past can he begin to regain the peace that was taken from him.
Masterfully written, filled with the somber majesty of Pueblo myth,
Ceremony is a work of enduring power.
