The Death of Sitting Bear

N. Scott Momaday, a distinguished Native American poet and storyteller, presents a luminous collection of over 200 poems rooted in Native American tradition and his Kiowa heritage. Spanning nearly fifty years, these poems explore themes such as identity, spirituality, the human condition, and the connection to the landscape of the American Southwest, reflecting Momaday’s deep respect for language and oral tradition. The collection includes meditations on heritage, mortality, love, and loss, celebrating cultural memory and personal reflection in a powerful and sacred voice.
