Explanation:

N. Scott Momaday's memoir "The Way To Rainy Mountain" is a series of travelogue/ history infused with folklore tales of the Kiowa people. This memoir serves as a means for the author's efforts to learn about his ancestors. The book contains details of the people from their original residence from Montana to the Rainy Mountains in Oklahoma.
