American culture is often referred to as a “Melting Pot.” People have come here from all over the world, with them they bringing their different ways of life. Once here certain parts of a life style change, while new aspects are adapted. Many other countries have left their mark on American culture. Food is a good example of an American custom that is constantly influenced by a foreign influx. In the recent history of California Mexican and Chinese food have become a common culinary presence. As new customs become adapted, they synthesize with older customs, which keeps culture constantly evolving. N. Scott Momaday’s “The Way to Rainy Mountain” he uses the story of his traveling to grandmothers’ grave to tell the story of the Kiowa Tribe’s culture. Momaday tells how the Kiowa’s way of life change through time. He tells how their culture adapts to purposeful migration and the attempts of the United States Government to destroy the Kiowa way of life. In paragraph four Momaday tells us about the migration of the Kiowa from the Montana hills to the Southern Plains. As they moved, the Kiowa had adopted similar religious beliefs as to those of their neighbors The Crow. Their new Sun God was a better fit for life on the plains.
