The Risk of Misunderstanding in Greg Sarris's Keeping Slug Woman Alive: A Holistic Approach to American Indian Texts
2004
Overview
Greg Sarris' book, Keeping Slug Woman Alive: A Holistic Approach to American Indian Texts, is a groundbreaking text in that it is an attempt to incorporate aspects of oral tradition within the written word, and an attempt to make the tradition and lesson of story-telling understandable for a Eurowestern audience. However, because Sarris does not clearly explain what he is trying to say, there is a risk, perhaps a certainty, that many readers will misunderstand or misinterpret the meaning of the stories that he tells and the points he attempts to make, as Washburn discusses.
