The detail from "The Way to Rainy Mountain", by N. Scott Momaday that supports the central idea that the Kiowa keep their culture alive by passing down their traditional stories is "It is...a remarkably, rich and living verbal tradition." Oral tradition has to be preserved through language. They keep their culture alive by passing it down from one generation to another, emphasizing the importance of oral traditions to preserve their culture. The narrator then remembers hearing of the Sun Dance told by a hundred-year-old woman, this is how stories went from generation to generation.
