Navarro Scott Momaay (born February 27, 1934) is a Native American (Kiowa) writer. He is the son of the writer Natachee Scott Momaday and the painter Al Momaday, and was born on the Kiowa Reservation in Lawton, Oklahoma, United States. His novel House Made of Dawn led to the breakthrough of Native American literature into the mainstream. It was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1969. He was also featured in the Ken Burns and Stephen Ives' documentary, The West, for his masterful retelling of Kiowa history and legend. Momaday is also featured in another PBS documentary concerning the Battle of the Little Bighorn. He laughed and said of his grandfather, who fought in the battle: "My grandfather used to say Custer looked whiter than ever!". Momaday is the Poet Laureate of Oklahoma. He has most recently been awarded a 2007 National Medal of Arts by President George W. Bush.
