N. Scott Momaday je autor, ktorého hlas prenáša poslucháčov naprieč priestorom a časom do posvätnej, červenej zeme kmeňa Kiowa. Jeho dielo, často popisované ako jeden súvislý príbeh, skúma jedinečnú identitu domorodých Američanov a naliehavú potrebu zachovať ich stáročné tradície. Momaday sa ponára do stretávania moderného a tradičného sveta a jeho písanie čerpá z bohatej tapisérie americkej a európskej literatúry aj z hlbokých, ústne odovzdávaných príbehov domorodých kmeňov. Jeho spisy nie sú iba rozprávaním, ale oživenými realitami, ktoré majú byť veriť a uchované pre budúce generácie.
