House Made of Dawn by N Scott Momaday
Tells the story of a young American Indian named Abel, home from a foreign war and caught between two worlds: one his father's, wedding him to the rhythm of the seasons and the harsh beauty of the land, and the other of industrial America, goading him into a compulsive cycle of dissipation and disgust.
