It validates the Tai-me as a critical object in Kiowa culture.
Explanation:
N. Scott Momaday's travel memoir "The Way to Rainy Mountain" is a kind of historical travelogue that the author writes as a way of rediscovering his heritage and that of his o, the Kiowa people. The book narrates the history of the Kiowa people, right from their beginning in Montana to Oklahoma.
The book narrates the background of the Kiowa people and their beliefs and lifestyle. Momaday also included his own memories of his grandmother and how she would tell him stories about their heritage. One important aspect of the people was the belief in Tai-me, their god. This Tai-me features a number of times in even the stories that his grandmother told him. The three parts in Section X which details Tai-me shows that he is considered as a critical being or object in their culture and that he is an important aspect of their lives.
