Catching Dreams

Children’s Program, October 1

During the 10am worship service, our children will be making dreamcatchers, tying into our celebration of Indigenous people. They will also hear a story by N. Scott Momaday, the first Native American to win the Pulitzer Prize in fiction.

One of the most distinguished Native-American authors writing today, N. Scott Momaday is chiefly known for novels and poetry collections that communicate the fabulous oral legends of his Kiowa heritage. (Read more about Dr. Momaday: Encylopedia.com, N. Scott Momaday)

Momaday’s most famous book remains 1969’s House Made of Dawn, the story of a Pueblo boy torn between the modern and traditional worlds, for which he won a Pulitzer Prize and was honored by his tribe. See more of Dr. Momaday’s novels at: Goodreads, N. Scott Momaday)
