Answer:

"Yet it is within the reach of memory still…and …demands to be preserved for its own sake."

Explanation:

N. Scott Momaday's book "The Way To Rainy Mountain" is a combination of history,tribal folklore, a memoir etc for the narrator/ author. This book follows the Kiowa people, the ancestors of Momaday in their journey from Montana to Oklahoma. This book also serves as a means of rediscovering of his ancestors and their background and identity.

One of the central idea that Momaday claims in his text is the importance of preserving the oral tradition of his ancestors, the Kiowa people. He even states that <em>"The living memory and the verbal tradition which transcends it were brought together for me"</em>. This shows just how significant the tradition of orally passing the information and history/folklore of the people is to them.

The central idea of the surviving or sustenance of the oral tradition of the Kiowa people can be best seen in the lines where Momaday wrote

<em>"Yet it is within the reach of memory still…and …demands to be preserved for its own sake."</em>

Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

War Dogs is a 2016 American dark comedy-crime film directed by Todd Phillips and written by Phillips, Jason Smilovic and Stephen Chin, based on a 2011 Rolling Stone article by Guy Lawson,[5] as well as Efraim Diveroli's 2016 memoir Once a Gun Runner as outlined in an ongoing lawsuit.[6][7] Lawson then wrote a 2015 book, Arms and the Dudes, detailing the story.[8] The film follows two arms dealers, Efraim Diveroli and David Packouz, who receive a U.S. Army contract to supply ammunitions for the Afghan National Army worth approximately $300 million.[9] The film is heavily fictionalized and dramatized,[10][11] and some of its events, such as the duo driving through Iraq, were either invented or based on other events, such as screenwriter Stephen Chin's own experiences.
