Leslie Marmon Silko reviews the past 500 years of American culture since Christopher Columbus’s arrival in the Bahamas in 1492 in Almanac of the Dead. Rather than accepting the dominant Euro-American conception of cultural imperialism in the Americas, Silko is indignant in the whole sphere of colonization to Native Americans, muckraking every evil project done to them deliberately, and accusing the Euro-Americans of the exploitation they have made in the guise of civilization. Silko identifies the Euro-Americans as “vampire capitalists” who are descendants of “the misogynistic, arrogantly hierarchical, and egocentric traditions of Western liberal individualism.” In order to save Native Americans from the European capitalists and colonialists, Silko strongly insists that politically radical actions like Ghost Dance and guerilla tactics are highly urgent before Native Americans completely disappear in the Americas. Silko borrows the ideas of regeneration of Native American culture from such traditional Native American thinkers as Dee Brown, Paula Gunn Allen, Arnold Krupat, and A. LaVonne Brown Ruoff. Combining the four theoreticians’ arguments together, Silko implies throughout the novel that the Americas should be returned to their native inhabitants.
