Pulitzer Prize winner N. Scott Momaday, a Kiowa Indian and Professor of English at Stanford University, traced the decline of the Plains Indian culture from the ban placed on their religious ceremonies by the U. S. government through the resulting destruction of their language and literary traditon. When their religion, which served as a bond between nature and Kiowa tradition, lost its meaning, according to Momaday, the Kiowas were left without either a sense of purpose or tribal integrity. Said Momaday, this loss was the blow that killed the Kiowa culture, the last culture on this continent.
