Apexvs. Kiowa and English.
Perhaps not some much in Lawton during his early childhood, but his parents both taught in the New Mexico Indian School system as employees of the Bureau of Indian Affairs that he attended. He would have been exposed at home to at least some of the Kiowa language, but in New Mexico it was more likely the Dine (Navajo) and T'inde (Apache) languages. He lived on two Apache Reservations and at the Jemez Pueblo and attended four different High Schools. To quote him, "...many times I was the only person for whom Englsh was a first language. I was in school with a lot of Pueblo kids, and Navajo kids. They spoke a kind of broken Engllish, and I didn't. I suppose that was to my advantage in some ways, but a disadvantage in others."N. Scott Momaday writes and speaks as an American Indian Storyteller, but he has a superb command of the English Language.
