In Leslie Marmon Silkoâs novel Ceremony, a struggling World War II veteran, Tayo, who has lost his cousin in the war, finds out that his home has become unwelcoming. Facing a conjuncture of not knowing who he is and where he belongs, Tayo finds help in nature, especially in plants. He finds connection to the Earth and to his native culture by understanding how he is connected inextricably to the plants and animals around him.
