Spotless in Leslie Marmon Silko's "Ceremony"

Summary: Leslie Marmon Silko uses the idea of being speckled, or spotless, in "Ceremony." To try to be spotless, the Laguna people try to become a part of white society, but that separates them from the Earth and from the roots, tradition, beliefs, rituals and customs of the Native American way. On the other hand, being speckled is learning and shifting with this clash of cultures for it not to interfere and destroy you.
