Answer: A) It is important to preserve the oral tradition of the Kiowa people.

The Way to the Rainy Mountain is a book by N. Scott Momaday. The book tells the journey of the Kiowa people (Momaday's ancestors) from Montana to their resettlement near Rainy Mountain, Oklahoma. The book makes extensive use of Kiowa's myths and customs passed down through oral tradition, and one of its main themes is how important it is to preserve this tradition. Through these means, the Kiowa have passed down their understanding of their own origin, beliefs, traditions, morals and conflicts.
