Der Weg zum Regenbogen erinnert an die Reise von Tai-me, der heiligen Sonnentanzpuppe, und ihrem Volk in drei einzigartigen Stimmen: der legendären, der historischen und der zeitgenössischen. Es ist auch die persönliche Reise von N. Scott Momaday, der auf einer Pilgerreise zum Grab seiner Kiowa-Großmutter denselben Weg wie seine Vorfahren beschritt und sich dabei mit seinem Kiowa-Erbe auseinandersetzte. Es ist eine Evokation von drei besonderen Dingen: einer unvergleichlichen Landschaft, einer Zeit, die für immer vergangen ist, und dem menschlichen Geist, der fortbesteht.

Reproduces nearly two hundred photographs of Native Americans taken by Edward Sheriff Curtis in the early 1900s, with essays that discuss aspects of life common to all tribes, including spirituality, ceremony, arts, and daily activities.

Sacred A Vision of Native American Rock Art brings together the talents of four Utah wilderness photographers and the storytelling skills of its indigenous peoples to present the visionary power of Utah rock art. Photographers Craig Law, John Telford, Tom Till, and Philip Hyde reveal prehistoric and historic rock art images on boulders, cliff faces, and overhangs.

"Both a masterpiece about the universal human condition and a masterpiece of Native American literature. . . . A book everyone should read for the joy and emotion of the language it contains." -- Paris Review The magnificent Pulitzer Prize-winning classic about a stranger in his native land from renowned Kiowa writer and poet N. Scott Momaday, now available as a limited Olive Edition from Harper Perennial. A young Native American, Abel has come home from war to find himself caught between two worlds. The first is the world of his father's, wedding him to the rhythm of the seasons, the harsh beauty of the land, and the ancient rites and traditions of his people. But the other world--modern, industrial America--pulls at Abel, demanding his loyalty, trying to claim his soul, and goading him into a destructive, compulsive cycle of depravity and disgust. An American classic, House Made of Dawn is at once a tragic tale about the disabling effects of war and cultural separation, and a hopeful story of a stranger in his native land, finding his way back to all that is familiar and sacred.

Of all of the works of N. Scott Momaday, The Names may be the most personal. A memoir of his boyhood in Oklahoma and the Southwest, it is also described by Momaday as "an act of the imagination. When I turn my mind to my early life, it is the imaginative part of it that comes first and irresistibly into reach, and of that part I take hold."Complete with family photos, The Names is a book that will captivate readers who wish to experience the Native American way of life.
