	Zuni Worldview, Language, Literature
		Implications of the Conceptual Presuppositions of the Zuni Worldview
		Zuni logic dictates that the present state necessarily affirms all that has proceeded, much in the same sense that if a prayed for event transpires, then the prayer or ritual was properly performed, akin to Western logic's fallacy of affirming the consequence[97].
