Scott Momaday, a poet and novelist of Kiowa descent, learns that his grandmother, Aho, has died. She is buried near Rainy Mountain, Oklahoma, and Momaday wants to visit her grave. He decides to make the journey the long way—by following the ancient migration route of the Kiowas, from their original homeland near the headwaters of the Yellowstone River east to the Black Hills and then south to Oklahoma. During this migration, the Kiowas had acquired horses and the Sun Dance religion. Their warrior society once dominated the southern Great Plains. Scott Momaday's The Way to Rainy Mountain does not advocate the usual definition of the American Dream as social mobility and progress in wealth. Rather, it redefines the American Dream as the ability to move forward into the future while remaining grounded and strengthened by one's traditional past.]]> 2022-02-28 14:01:34 UTC https://padlet.com/aparik2728/2m1ad1qzlilr2v1t/wish/2069510596 Sites aparik2728 https://padlet.com/aparik2728/2m1ad1qzlilr2v1t/wish/2077276133
