Question

Early in The Way To Rainy Mountain, the author says, “The interim was a time of great adventure and nobility and fulfillment.” How does Momaday support this central idea throughout the book?


Select each correct answer.


A) Momaday shows the adoption of horses.

B) He reveals how the Kiowa valued horses and dogs and buffaloes.

C) He tells how the Kiowas lived from the abundance of the land.

D) Momaday depicts the Kiowa expansion under the leadership of Tai-me.

Answer 1

C is the correct answer

Answer 2

The correct answer is B) He reveals how the Kiowa valued horses and dogs and buffaloes. The Way to Rainy Mountain tells the story of many true historical events: the Kiowa migration, the surrender of the Kiowas to U.S. forces, the disappearance of the buffalo herds in the plains, the final Kiowa Sun Dance. Nature, landscape, and animals are just as important to Kiowa history and culture as people. All this shows that Kiowas did not consider humans, animals, and nature to be entirely different.
