The WAY to RAINY MOUNTAIN

N. Scott Momaday. The WAY to RAINY MOUNTAIN. UNewMexico, 1969. An anniversary edition. Read in honour of the writer who died recently. Watched a PBS doc on him last week. 

I have read a lot of work by Indigenous writers and this is by far the most beautifully written. Kiowa story-telling techniques braided with memory and archaeology reports. Illustrated by the writer's father. 

N. Scott Momaday won the Pulitzer Prize in 1969 for his HOUSE MADE of DAWN.
