Answer:

A. to experience the land as his people did and connects with them on a spiritual level

C. to record and preserve the Kiowa culture and tradition that was slowly being lost

Step-by-step explanation:

The purpose as to why Momaday travels to the mountains is to get connected with the heritage of Kiowa and also trace the rainy mountain. Besides, the author wants to get back to his grandmother’s grave that she had died in the mountain.

Therefore Momaday’s travel aimed to put together the historical pieces and have a personal experience of the Kiowa. And afterward, the result of his work was impressive since he had done for the respect of his loved ones.
