All,
To lump all the nations of American Indian into one conception is a fallacy. Every nation and tribe within it has varying language and social morals and customs. As I know of, Robert Pirsig only spent ONE evening at a sacred ritual usually reserved for social members only. Pirsigs assumptions are loosely based about a culture he new little about in a personal experience kind of way. I would not accredit him as any kind of an authority on native culture. But his insights about this fact are on the money, which is the point of Lila. He' doesn't know diddly about women either but he wrote about Lila, which illustrated his point that we really do not know anything about anyone but ourselves. What we THINK we know is predicated on preconception. So unless you are native and live on the res, and are immersed in the culture then there is'nt ahell of a lot for you to say accurately ..is there?
