Grandmother
A Pueblo Laguna medicine man. He performs a healing ritual on Tayo, but admits to Tayo that the old rituals no longer work in the modern world as they used to. Indeed, the ceremony provides Tayo with only partial healing. But Ku’oosh also seems to recognize that there is the possibility of creating new ceremonies, even if he himself is not the one who can create them. He connects Tayo with Betonie for just this reason.
