Communal and collective trauma

      To deal with “communal and collective trauma,” we have stories or narratives that remind us of who we are as a people and individuals. They are the new “artifacts” in the history of us. In relation to the works of Silko, Jana, Castillo, and/or Erdrich, how do we keep, secure, and transform our old traditions into the contemporary world, and more importantly, how do these “new ceremonies” aid in addressing and combating subjection, objection, and oppression? Defend your idea with reasons, examples, details, chains of logic, the primary texts, and academic secondary sources. Cite the latter two items appropriately in-text.
