Abstract

The publishing of House Made of Dawn by contemporary Native American writer Scott Momaday has aroused wide attention on Native American literature from American society. Momaday for the first time revealed the down-to-earth life of Native Americans to the American mainstream world. In House Made of Dawn Momaday rewrote the Navajo and Pueblo myths “war gods” and “stricken twins” in a way that on one hand accorded with the Native American story telling mode and reflect the firm belief of native Americans in their own culture; on the other hand departed from the traditional story telling mode to reflect the collision and conflict, integration and balance between mainstream culture and native American culture.
