>A friend of mine who has Native American ancestry was livid when I gave her the first book to read - there were things in there "not for the white man to know"

  She did not go into detail, was a bit upset, and I was driving at the time... I would guess there were allusions to rituals and the like; it has been two decades since I read the first book so I'd have to again before making an attempt to answer your question. The important thing is to understand the allegorical nature of the story and what psychological insights about life one might get from it, as another commentator pointed out. "White people" (the stereotype) don't have a clue about such things, hence my wisecrack.
