The Ethics of Storytelling: Indigenous Identity and the Death of Mangas Coloradas

Regina McManigell Grijalva

Abstract

To reveal responsibilities of storytelling, I first disclose my representation of indigeneity, and then, as an indigenous writer, I use the narrative paradigm to examine divergent stories told about the death of Apache Chief Mangas Coloradas. This study demonstrates for teachers and students of writing how important it is to remain ethical in telling and listening to stories.
