2. The title of the work is Landscape, History, and the Pueblo Imagination. The significance of this title is to give the reader an idea about what the work is about. 3. The work was written in 1986. The author wrote this work to give an insight about ancient Pueblo traditions. She is part Pueblo Indian, which influenced her decision to write this work greatly. 4. The intended audiences may have been for historians, or everyone on Earth, because Silko talks about how nothing is wasted and when something is wasted, the gods of that particular thing are angry. This can be a connection to our modern society, where Americans waste more now than ever before in history. 5. Everything that is on the planet, whether organic or inorganic, will return to dust at some point in time. Ancient Pueblo people buried their dead in collapsed houses because the adobe house, even when destroyed, meant a lot to the people at that time. Animals that are hunted have consent with the hunter to be killed, so that the hunter does not starve. The dead return to dust, and join with the Mother Creator (Earth). The Pueblo people considered humans to be a part of the landscape, everything was connected. Stories were passed on to children, and they had to recite the story whenever asked because there was no written language. The Pueblo people encouraged arguments of truth in the stories, because it formed as entertainment for the others. The stories may be used as a map, because the key landmarks used in the story were precise and could be used to guide lost gatherers. (155) 6. The work makes the point that everything will return to dust at some point in the future. This meant that nothing was wasted in the Pueblo culture, including stories. The dates of the stories were less important that the locations, which meant that whenever the locations were passed, the stories would be remembered and told again. (56) 7. My overall assessment of the work is that I found the way the Pueblo people focused on not wasting anything was very interesting. If people in developed countries lived with just a fraction of that mentality that nothing should be wasted, then the world would become a cleaner and an environmentally friendlier place.
