From the publisher

Of all of the works of N. Scott Momaday, The Names may be the most personal. A memoir of his boyhood in Oklahoma and the Southwest, it is also described by Momaday as "an act of the imagination.

Complete with family photos, The Names is a book that will captivate readers who wish to experience the Native American way of life.
