Rigoberta Menchu is a questionable choice for words of wisdom. Not only has Menchu distanced herself from “I, Rigoberta . . .” but as the New York Times and other publications reported in 1998, her “story” is full of fabrications and false claims that have been demonstrated as untrue by an anthropologist, David Stoll, who conducted interviews and detailed research into the claims of Menchu.
In all, Menchu is in no way a spiritual or social authority given her penchant for deceiving people with exaggerations for the sake of a political agenda.
