Earth Keeper is a literary fiction book by author N. Scott Momaday.
The most prominent voice in American letters, N. Scott Momaday has devoted much of his life to honoring and preserving Native American culture, especially its oral traditions. A member of the Kiowa tribe, Momaday was born in Lawton, Oklahoma, and raised on Navajo, Apache, and Peublo reservations throughout the Southwest. It is the part of the Earth that he knows well and loves deeply.
In Earth Keeper, he reflects on his native land and its influence on his people.
In this wise and wondrous work, Momaday shares stories and memories from throughout her life.
Tales passed down through the generations, stories that demonstrate a deep spiritual connection to the American landscape and reverence for the natural world. He shows us that the Earth is a sacred place of wonder and beauty, a source of strength and healing that needs to be celebrated and protected before it’s too late.
