description Scott Momaday is a Kiowa-born American writer. As a storyteller, he conveys through his writing his own Indian heritage.

What he actually conveys, more than this mythical and traditional background, is a very original and genuine mode of writing, a new literary genre based on codes to be deciphered. Momaday’s text can be read through different angles: the mythical one, the classical anglo one, and a more personal and unifying approach rooted in the imagination of the writer himself.
