The Crisis of Identity Facing Native Americans and Indigenous People

Tuesday, April 8, 2008

7:30pm

MCC Theatre – building 4

Referred to as "the dean of American Indian writers" by the New York Times, Scott Momaday holds an important place in the American literary arts.  A poet, playwright, essayist and novelist, Momaday crafts - in language and imagery - majestic landscapes of a second culture.  Momaday was the first Native American to be awarded the Pulitzer for his novel, House Made of Dawn.  His brilliant use of language has garnered him countless awards, including a Guggenheim Fellowship, The Autry Museum of Western Heritage Humanities Prize, a prize from the Academy of American Poets and "Mondello," Italy's highest literary award.

Tickets are $10.00 for General Public and Free to MCC Students, Faculty and Staff with ID.

Tickets are Required and available on H<"http://www.monroecctickets.com"> or the Brighton Campus Center Service Desk.
