Scott Momaday was born into the Kiowa tribe and grew up on Indian reservations in the Southwest. The customs and traditions that influenced his upbringing-most notably the Native American oral tradition-are the centerpiece of his work. This luminous collection demonstrates Momaday's mastery and love of language and the matters closest to his heart. To Momaday, words are sacred; language is power. Spanning nearly fifty years, the poems gathered here illuminate the human condition, Momaday's connection to his Kiowa roots, and his spiritual relationship to the American landscape. The title poem, "The Death of Sitting Bear" is a celebration of heritage and a memorial to the great Kiowa warrior and chief. "I feel his presence close by in my blood and imagination," Momaday writes, "and I sing him an honor song." Here, too, are meditations on mortality, love, and loss, as well as reflections on the incomparable and holy landscape of the Southwest. The Death of Sitting Bear evokes the essence of human experience and speaks to us all"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 00 $a Satank, $c Kiowa Chief, $d 1810-1871. 650 0 $a Poetry. 650 0 $a Indians of North America $v Poetry. 655 7 $a Poetry. $2 lcgft 941 $a 12 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240710051244.0 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20240417015314.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240320012100.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012030334.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230302014033.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909061102.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20210723014931.0 952 $l HUAX887 $d 20201008100942.0 952 $l WSPF215 $d 20200707012923.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20200602014304.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20200409011256.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20200317011209.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B45CF536681411EA9E1E8D0A97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
