As we read and discussed N. Scott Momaday's The Way to Rainy Mountain, we related his themes to our own lives. We discussed ideas, interviewed others, investigated related myths and legends, and wrote personal responses to the readings. The result is this Web site.

Each of the links below leads to a student Web page. Please bear in mind that this is the first Web page most of the students have composed. They wrote simple code using Notepad.
