N. Scott Momaday, a celebrated literary luminary, entered the world on February 27, 1934, in the picturesque city of Lawton, Oklahoma, United States of America, where he was initially baptized Navarre Scott Mammedaty.
N. Scott Momaday's personal life has been marked by the presence of two extraordinary women, each bringing their own unique qualities and experiences to his life. His current spouse, Regina Heitzer, joined him in matrimony on July 21, 1979, and together they have been blessed with the joy of parenthood, welcoming one precious child into their family. Prior to his union with Regina, Momaday was previously married to the lovely Gaye Mangold, a relationship that unfortunately came to a close.
