<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">A Kiowa Indian, Navarre Scott Momaday was born in 1934 and grew up on Southwestern Navajo, Apache, and Pueblo
reservations, where his parents were teachers. His first novel, <i>House Made of Dawn</i> (1968), which tells the story of a young man returning to his Kiowa pueblo after a stint in the U.S. Army, won the 1969 Pulitzer Prize for fiction and has been widely
credited with spearheading the breakthrough of Native American literature into the mainstream.<span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">“N. Scott Momaday’s body of work illustrates the power of ritual, imagination, and storytelling to mediate between
cultures, produce peace through intercultural understanding, and heal individuals damaged by conflict,” said Sharon Rab, the founder and chair of the Dayton Literary Peace Prize Foundation. “By honoring and safeguarding the storytelling traditions of our nation’s
indigenous communities, his writings at the same time affirm the value of a multicultural society.”<span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
