Yellow Woman -Leslie Marmon Silko Leslie Marmon Silko(1948-) Leslie Marmon Silkon, dedicated to the cause of reviving Native American culture, is reputed as one of most prominent contemporary Native American Writers.(当代杰出的美国本土作家之一) 我们家是生活在普韦布洛（pueblo）的拉古纳（Laguna）保留地的马蒙家族，那是我成长的地方。我们是混血儿-我们的祖辈有拉古纳人、墨西哥人以及白人-可我们生活的方式是纯粹马蒙家族式的。 如果你来自普韦布洛的拉古纳，你就会明白我是什么意思了。那些不同的语言、不同的生活方式就这么融合在一起，徘徊于三种文化的边缘，但我已经不再为此感到抱歉了-我们的家庭出身就是和别人不一样。可这也正是我的诗歌、我的故事的创作源泉。（Silko, 1975:230） Early Life Leslie Marmon Silko was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico to Leland Howard Marmon, a noted photographer, and Mary Virginia Leslie. Silko has noted herself as being 1/4 Laguna Pueblo (a Keres speaking tribe), also identifying as Anglo American and Mexican American. Early Life Silko grew up on the edge of pueblo society(普韦布洛) both literally – her family’s house was at the edge of the Laguna Pueblo reservation – and figuratively, as she was not permitted to participate in various tribal rituals or join any of the pueblos religious societies. Silko learned much of the traditional stories of the Laguna people from her grandmother, whom she called Amooh, her aunt Susie, and her grandfather Hank during her early years. As a result, Silko has always identified most strongly with her Laguna ancestry, stating in an interview with Alan Velie, I am of mixed-breed ancestry, but what I know is Laguna(拉古纳). Early Life Silko was educated at a Catholic school in Albuquerque, and went on to receive a BA from the University of New Mexico in 1969. In 1965, she married Richard C. Chapman, and together, they had a son, Robert Chapman, before divorcing in 1969. In 1971, she and John Silko were married. They had a son, Kazimir Silko. This marriage too ended in divorce.
