The purpose of this study is to examine Leslie Marmon Silko's “Yellow Woman” from Storyteller and how this work criticize leading western ideologies that have led to the ecological crisis of the contemporary world, while proposing Native American eco-vision as an alternative to this crisis. The essence of Silko's argument regarding this eco-vision lies in her belief that human beings are no longer at the core of any value or meaning in our world, but that the world is an organism: every living being is dependent on one another and mutually effect not only one another, but the ecocommunity as a whole. This also lies at the center of Native American and ecofeminist world views and Silko, like her ancestors firmly believes that only by working together with the ecocommunity will this crisis be averted and the ecocommunity restored. Throughout her work, Silko also places a firm emphasis on the importance of oral tradition and storytelling, attempting to realize its characteristics in her writing. The “Yellow Woman” section of Storyteller reveals the restoration of an essential harmony in the ecocommunity through individual fulfillment. Because Yellow Woman leaves her people, deserting them, she is misunderstood, but in reality this leaving in the context of the story expresses that individual fulfillment leads to a revival of the ecocommunity. Through this narrative, Silko illustrates that personal and communal fulfillment enhances both individuals and the ecocommunity. Across her work, Silko explains that ethics, once so preoccupied with the self, has expanded to include family, tribal members, the nation, all human- beings, and nonhuman nature. From this perspective, Silko's eco- vision, based on the idea that the human and nonhuman nature relationship should be dealt with a moral issue conditioned by ethics, is certainly the most advanced staged in the process of the Evolution of Ethics.
