The Kiowa tribe's culture, with its emphasis on storytelling, tradition, and connection to the land, greatly influences Momaday's sense of personal identity. In his novel "House Made of Dawn," Momaday explores the impact of Kiowa culture on his characters, particularly Abel, who struggles with his identity amid the clash of traditional and modern ways of life. Other examples in literature include Sherman Alexie's works, where characters navigate their identities within the complexities of Native American culture and contemporary society.
