Navarre Scott Momaday was born on February 27, 1934 in Lawton, Okla. to Kiowa parents who successfully bridged the gap between Native American and white ways, but remained true to their heritage. Momaday attended the University of New Mexico and earned an M.A and a Ph.D. from Stanford University in 1963. A member of the Gourd Dance Society of the Kiowa Tribe, Momaday has received a plethora of writing accolades, including the Academy of American Poets prize for The Bear and the 1969 Pulitzer Prize for fiction for House Made of Dawn. He also shared the Western Heritage Award with David Muench in 1974 for the nonfiction book Colorado: Summer/Fall/Winter/Spring, and he is the author of the film adaptation of Frank Water's novel, The Man Who Killed the Deer. His work, The Names is composed of tribal tales, boyhood memories, and family histories. Another book, The Way to Rainy Mountain, melds myth, history, and personal recollection into a Kiowa tribe narrative. Throughout his writings, Momaday celebrate his Kiowa Native American heritage in structure, theme, and subject matter, often dealing with the man-nature relationship as a central theme and sustaining the Indian oral tradition.

2008。非常鍾愛。嘗試翻譯的第一本書。。上DQ的課唯一遇到的兩件好事,一個是重讀瞭一遍波德萊爾,一個是遇到這本書。從此深陷對人類學之愛

评分印第安神話中說到神創造天地:天和地是萬物源頭,當時天和地未分開,四下漆黑,神用力將天地推開,於是光明齣現。一嚮藏在黑暗中的人類便被發現,原來他們也是天地所生。然後神從地下帶領人類從一根空的樹乾中,來到光明世界,生活在大地上。
