The story of Kochininako, or Yellow Woman, comes from the oral tradition of the Laguna Pueblo and it is as old as any myth you know. It is also a very different kind of story. Pueblo novelist Leslie Marmon Silko depicts Yellow Woman as a provocative heroine with profound significance to the contemporary world, and it is through her work that Yellow Woman’s myth will be experienced. Maybe it is a story we need for America now if only because it was born here in the soil and water of the high desert. Join us as we hear the adventures of Kochininako, see the power of her heart, and celebrate the beauty of her spirit.
