For example, Emo complains that “you know us Indians deserve something better than this goddamn dried-up country around here. The Native Indians in Silko’s Ceremony face the challenge of environmental discrimination because they are pushed to live in reservations that are not productive. The whites used psychological borders to make it clear to the Indians that they were “aliens” hence they could not have the same status in the society whatsoever. The Natives went back to their normal status and thus they were no longer significant to the whites because they were not fighting for their country. ![]() However, after the war, they no longer dressed in the uniforms and the boundaries between the whites and the Natives were reinforced. During the war, the Natives were treated well because they were American officials fighting for their country. Tayo means that the manner in which the white people treated the Natives before and after the Second World War was different. And the white lady at the bus depot, she’s real careful not to touch your hand when she counts you your change (Silko 42). All of a sudden that man at the store waits on you last makes you wait until all the white people bought what they wanted. First time you walked down the street in Gallup or Albuquerque, you knew. ![]()
