One of the themes in Ceremony by Leslie Silko is the destructive patterns that occur between people from different cultures. Tayo himself is an example of those destructive patterns. Being a “half-breed,” Tayo’s place is not quite secure. Since he is half Indian, he is not really accepted by the white culture, but because he is also half white, he is not completely accepted into his reservation.

Ceremony Ethnography In North American culture, weddings are usually a lavish celebration of joining two families. Recently, at a wedding I attended with my family, I noticed many things about the role of music in the wedding ceremony.
