[[Tipi]]s, conical lodges made from hide or later canvas, provided lightweight, portable housing. They hunted and gathered wild foods and traded with neighboring agrarian tribes for produce. The Kiowa migrated seasonally with the American bison because it was their main food source. They also hunted antelope, deer, turkeys, and other wild game. Women collected varieties of wild berries and fruit and processed them with prepared meats to make [[pemmican]]. Dogs were used to pull [[travois]] and rawhide [[parfleche]] that contained camping goods for short moves. The Kiowa tended to stay in areas for long periods of time. When they adopted [[horse culture]] after acquiring horses from Spanish rancherias south of the Rio Grande, the Kiowa revolutionized their lifeways. They had much larger ranges for their seasonal hunting, and horses could carry some of their camping goods. The Kiowa and [[Plains Apache]] established a homeland in the [[Southern Plains]], adjacent to the [[Arkansas River]] in southeastern Colorado and western Kansas and the [[Red River of the South|Red River]] drainage of the Texas Panhandle and western Oklahoma.<ref name=ohs/> The Kiowa use ''[[Plantago virginica]]'' to make garlands or wreaths for old men to wear around their heads during ceremonial dances as a symbol of health.<ref>Vestal, Paul A. and Richard Evans Schultes, 1939, ''The Economic Botany of the Kiowa Indians'', Cambridge, Massachusetts: Botanical Museum of Harvard University, page 51. {{oclc|1862648}}</ref> === Cuisine === [[File:Ledger art- Kiowa hunting antelope.jpg|thumb|Ledger drawing of mounted Kiowa hunters hunting [[pronghorn]] antelope with bows and lance, c.1875–1877.]] [[File:Ledger art- Kiowa hunting elk.jpg|thumb|Kiowa hunting [[elk]] on horseback, c. 1875–1877]] [[File:Buffalo and Elk in Texas- George Catlin.jpg|thumb|''Elk and Buffalo Grazing among Prairie Flowers'' 1846–48, painted by [[George Catlin]] in Texas.]] The Kiowa historically had a nomadic hunter-gatherer society. They shared a similar cuisine with their neighboring Plains tribes, such as the Comanche. The most important food source for the Kiowa and fellow plains nations was the [[American bison]] or buffalo. Before the introduction of horses, the Plains tribes hunted bison on foot.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Mark |first=Joshua J. |title=Buffalo and the Plains Indians |url=https://www.worldhistory.org/article/2357/buffalo-and-the-plains-indians/ |access-date=2024-06-04 |website=World History Encyclopedia |language=en}}</ref> Hunting required the hunter to get as close as possible to the target before shooting with arrows or using the long lance. Occasionally, they wore the skins of wolves or [[coyotes]] to hide their approach toward the bison herds. Hunting bison became far easier after the Kiowa acquired horses. Bison were hunted on horseback and the men used bows and arrows to take them down, as well as long lances to pierce the hearts of the animals. The women prepared bison meat in a variety of ways: roasted, boiled, and dried. Dried meat was prepared into [[pemmican]], for sustenance while the people were on the move. Pemmican is made by grinding dried lean meat into powder, then mixing a near-equal weight of melted fat or tallow and sometimes berries. The pemmican was shaped into bars and kept in pouches until ready to eat. The Kiowa sometimes ate certain parts of the bison raw. Other animals hunted included deer, [[elk]], [[pronghorn]], wild [[mustang horse|mustang]], [[wild turkey]], and bears. During times of scarce game, the Kiowa would eat small animals such as lizards, waterfowl, skunks, snakes, and armadillos.{{citation needed|date=December 2019}} They raided ranches for [[Texas Longhorn|Longhorn cattle]] and horses to eat during difficult times.

Women were responsible for gathering wild edibles such as berries, tubers, seeds, nuts, vegetables, and wild fruit but could choose to hunt if they wanted to. Plants important to Kiowa cuisine include [[pecans]], [[Opuntia|prickly pear]], [[mulberry|mulberries]], [[Diospyros virginiana|persimmons]], acorns, plums, and wild onions. They acquired cultivated crops, such as squash, [[maize]], and [[pumpkin]], by trading with and raiding various Indian peoples, such as the [[Pawnee people|Pawnee]] people, living on the western edge of the great plains. Prior to acquiring metal pots from Europeans, Kiowa cooked boiled meat and vegetables through a process of lining a pit in the earth with animal hides, filling that with water, and adding fire-heated rocks.<ref name="Rollings">Rollings (2004), pp. 22-28.</ref> ===Transportation and dwellings=== [[File:Kiowa tipis with designs.jpg|thumb|left|Four Kiowa tipis with designs, 1904. Top L to R, bison herd and pipe-smoking deer; porcupines; bottom, L to R: arms and legs with pipes and lizard; mythical water monsters.]] The main form of shelter used by the Kiowa was the [[tipi|tipi or skin lodge]]. Tipis were made from bison hides shaped and sewn together in a conical shape. Wooden poles called lodge poles from {{Convert|12-25|feet}} in length are used as support for the lodge. Lodge poles are harvested from [[Juniperus virginiana|red juniper]] and [[lodgepole pine]].<ref>[[David J. Wishart|Wishart, David J.]] ''Encyclopedia of the Great Plains Indians''. Lincoln: University of Nebraska Press, 2007. 89.</ref> Tipis have at least one entrance flap. Smoke flaps were placed at the top so that smoke could escape from the fire pit within. The floor of the tipi was lined with animal pelts and skins for warmth and comfort. The tipi is designed to be warm inside during the cold winter months and cool inside during the warm summer. Tipis are easily collapsed and can be raised in minutes, making it an optimal structure for nomadic people like the Kiowa and other Plains Indian nations. The poles of the tipi were used to construct a [[travois]] during times of travel. Hide paintings often adorn the outside and inside of the tipis, with special meanings attached to certain designs. [[File:Kiowa mounted warfare ledger drawing.jpg|thumb|Ledger drawing of Kiowas engaging in horse mounted warfare with traditional enemy forces, 1875.]] Before the introduction of the horse to North America, the Kiowa and other plains peoples used domestic dogs to carry and pull their belongings. Tipis and belongings, as well as small children, were carried on travois, a frame structure using the tipi poles and pulled by dogs and later horses. The introduction of the horse to Kiowa society revolutionized their way of life. They acquired horses by raiding rancheros south of the Rio Grande into Mexico, as well as by raiding other Indian peoples who already had horses, such as the Navajo and the various Pueblo people. With the horse, they could transport larger loads, hunt more game over a wider range and more easily, and travel longer and farther. The Kiowa became powerful and skilled mounted warriors who conducted long-distance raids against enemies. The Kiowa were considered among the finest horsemen on the Plains. A man's wealth was measured primarily by the size of his horse herd, with particularly wealthy individuals having herds numbering in the hundreds. Horses were targets of capture during raids. The Kiowa considered it an honor to steal horses from enemies, and such raids often served as a rite of passage for young warriors. They adorned their horses with body paint from the [[medicine man]] for ritual and spiritual purposes, such as good fortune and protection during battle. Kiowa horses were also often decorated with beaded masks (sometimes with bison horns attached to the sides) and feathers in their manes. Mules and donkeys were also used as means of transportation and wealth; however, they were not as esteemed. === Sociopolitical organization === The Kiowa had a well structured tribal government like most tribes on the Northern Plains. They had a yearly Sun Dance gathering and an elected head-chief who was considered to be a symbolic leader of the entire nation. Warrior societies and religious societies were important to Kiowa society and carried out specific roles. Chiefs were chosen based on bravery and courage shown in battle as well as intelligence, generosity, experience, communication skills, and kindness to others. The Kiowa believed that the young fearless warrior was ideal. The entire tribe was structured around this individual. The warrior was the ideal to which young men aspired. Because of these factors, the Kiowa was of utmost importance in the history of the Southern Plains.<ref name="Dick Swift 1972">Dick Swift, "Introduction to the Study of North American Indians", ''A History and Culture of the Southern Plains Tribes'', Carnegie Public Schools, 1972</ref> The women gain prestige through the achievements of their husbands, sons, and fathers, or through their own achievements in the arts. Kiowa women tanned, skin-sewed, painted geometric designs on parfleche and later beaded and quilled hides.<ref>''The Kiowa'', by U.S. Department of the Interior, Southern Plains Indian Museum, 1994</ref> The Kiowa women took care of the camp while the men were away. They gathered and prepared food for winter months, and participated in key ritual events. Kiowa men lived in the families of their wives' extended families. Local groups (''jōfàujōgáu'' or ''jōdáu'') were led by the ''jōfàujōqì'', which merged to become a band (''topadoga''). These bands were led by a [[Tribal chief|chief]], the ''Topadok'i'' ('main chief'). The Kiowa had two political subdivisions (particularly with regard to their relationship with the [[Comanche]]): *'''To-kinah-yup''' or '''Thóqàhyòp /Thóqàhyòi''' ("Northerners", lit. 'Men of the Cold' or 'Cold People', 'northern Kiowa', lived along the [[Arkansas River]] and the Kansas border, comprising the more numerous northern bands) *'''Sálqáhyóp''' or '''Sálqáhyói''' ("Southerners", lit. 'Hot People', 'southern Kiowa', lived in the [[Llano Estacado]] (Staked Plains), [[Oklahoma Panhandle]] and [[Texas Panhandle]], allies of the Comanche). As the pressure on Kiowa lands increased in the 1850s, the regional divisions changed. A new regional grouping emerged: * the '''Gwa-kelega''' or '''Gúhàlēcáuigú''' ('Wild Mustang Kiowa' or 'Gúhàlē Kiowa', they were named for the large mustang herds in the territory of the ''Kwahadi (Quohada) Band'' of the Comanche, this Comanche Band was known to them as ''Gúhàlēgáu'' – 'Wild Mustang People', with which they were living in close proximity during the last resistance to white settlement on the Southern Plains). After the death of the high chief Dohäsan in 1866, the Kiowa split politically into a peace faction and a war faction. War-bands and peace-bands developed primarily based on their proximity to [[Fort Sill]] (''Xóqáudáuhága'' – 'At Medicine Bluff', lit. 'Rock Cliff Medicine At Soldiers Collective They Are') and their degree of interaction.<ref>William C.

These were traditionally defined as follows: The ''Kâtá'' had the traditional right (duty or task) to supply the Kiowa during the Sun Dance with enough bison meat and other foods. This band was particularly wealthy in horses, tipis and other goods. The famous Principal Kiowa chiefs [[Dohäsan]] (Little Mountain) and [[Guipago|Guipago (Lone Wolf)]] were members of this band.{{citation needed|date=February 2021}} The ''Kogui'' were responsible for conducting the war ceremonies during the Sun Dance.

The ''Kaigwu'' were the guardians of the [[Sacred bundle|Sacred]] or [[Medicine bundle]] (Tai-mé, Taimay) and the holy lance. Therefore, they were respected and enjoyed a special prestige.{{citation needed|date=February 2021}} The ''Kinep'' or ''Khe-ate'' were often called "Sun Dance Shields", because during the dance, they observed police duties and ensured security.

They fought frequently with enemies, both neighboring and far beyond their territory. The Kiowa were notable for their long-distance raids extending south into Mexico and north onto the Northern Plains. Almost all warfare took place on horseback. The Kiowa<nowiki>''</nowiki>s enemies included the [[Cheyenne people|Cheyenne]], [[Arapaho people|Arapaho]], [[Navajo people|Navajo]], [[Ute people|Ute]], and occasionally the [[Lakota people|Lakota]] to the north and west of Kiowa territory. East of Kiowa territory, they fought with the [[Pawnee people|Pawnee]], [[Osage people|Osage]], [[Kickapoo people|Kickapoo]], [[Kaw people|Kaw]], [[Caddo]], [[Wichita people|Wichita]], and [[Sac and Fox Nation|Sac and Fox]]. To the south, they fought with the [[Lipan Apache people|Lipan Apache]], [[Mescalero|Mescalero Apache]], [[Chiricahua Apache]] (whom the Kiowa called the Do’-ko’nsenä’go, "People of the turned-up moccasins"), and [[Tonkawa]]. The Kiowa also clashed with American Indian nations from the [[Southeastern Woodlands|Southeastern]] and [[Northeastern Woodlands]] who were forcibly removed to [[Indian Territory]] during the [[Indian Removal Act|Indian Removal]] period, including the [[Cherokee]], [[Choctaw]], [[Muscogee people|Muskogee]], and [[Chickasaw]]. The Cheyenne and Arapaho later made peace with the Kiowa. Together, they formed a powerful alliance with the Comanche and the [[Plains Apache]] to fight invading white settlers and U.S. soldiers, as well as Mexicans and the Mexican Army.<ref>{{cite encyclopedia |title=Kiowas |url=http://plainshumanities.unl.edu/encyclopedia/doc/egp.na.055 |encyclopedia= Encyclopedia of the Great Plains |access-date=2013-06-23}}</ref> [[File:Kiowa & Comanche meeting Pawnee.jpg|thumb|left|Ledger drawing depicting a meeting between a Kiowa–Comanche war party and a Pawnee war party (right side).]] Like other Plains Indians, the Kiowa had specific warrior societies. Young men who proved their bravery, skill, or displayed their worth in battle were often invited to one of the warrior societies. In addition to warfare, the societies worked to keep peace within the camps and tribe as a whole. There were six warrior societies among the Kiowa.<ref name=b71>Boyd, 71</ref> The Po-Lanh-Yope (Little Rabbits) was for boys; all young Kiowa boys were enrolled. The group mostly served social and education purposes, involving no violence or combat.

Shields were made from tough bison hide stretched over a wooden frame, or they were made from the skull of bison, which made a small, strong shield. Shields and weapons were adorned with feathers, furs, and animal parts, such as eagle claws for ceremonial purposes. [[File:Calendari kiowa.jpg|thumb|Calendar of 37 months, 1889–92, kept on a skin by Anko, ca. 1895]] ===Kiowa calendars=== {{further|Winter count}} The Kiowa people told ethnologist [[James Mooney]] that the first calendar keeper in their tribe was Little Bluff, or ''Tohausan'', who was the principal chief of the tribe from 1833 to 1866. Mooney also worked with two other calendar keepers, ''Settan (''Little Bear) and ''[[Ankopaaingyadete]]'' (In the Middle of Many Tracks), commonly known as ''Anko''. Other Plains tribes kept pictorial records, known as "winter counts". The Kiowa calendar system is unique: they recorded two events each year, offering a finer-grained record and twice as many entries for any given period. Silver Horn (1860–1940), or ''Haungooah,'' was the most highly esteemed artist of the Kiowa tribe in the 19th and 20th centuries. He kept a calendar and was a respected religious leader in his later years.<ref name=autogenerated3>Greene, Candace S. ''One Hundred Summers: A Kiowa Calendar Record.'' Lincoln: University of Nebraska Press, 2008.</ref> === Funeral practices === In Kiowa tradition, death had strong associations with dark spirits and negative forces, which meant that the death of an individual was seen as a traumatic experience. Fear of ghosts in Kiowa communities stemmed from the belief that spirits commonly resisted the end of their physical life. The spirits were thought to remain around the corpse or its burial place, as well as haunt former living spaces and possessions. Lingering spirits were also believed to help encourage the dying to cross from the physical world to the afterlife. The fear of ghosts can be seen in the way skulls were treated, which{{clarify|date=August 2019}} was believed to be a source of negative spiritual contamination that invited danger to the living. Due to the fears and risks associated with death, the community's reactions were instantaneous and vicious.<ref>Opler, Morris E., and William E. Bittle.

There have also been accounts of self-induced body lacerations and finger joints being cut. In the process of grief, women and the widowed spouse were expected to be more expressive in their mourning.<ref>"Kiowa - Religion and Expressive Culture". ''Countries and Their Cultures'', Every Culture, 2010, www.everyculture.com/North-America/Kiowa-Religion-and-Expressive-Culture.html.</ref> The body of the deceased must be washed before burial. The washer, historically a woman, also combs the hair and paints the face of the dead. Once the body has been treated, a burial occurs promptly. When possible, the burial takes place on the same day, unless the death occurs at night. In this case the dead is buried the following morning. A quick burial was believed to reduce the risk of spirits remaining around the burial site. After the burial, most of the belongings of the dead were burned along with their tipi. If their tipi or house was shared with family, the surviving relatives moved into a new house.<ref>Fowler, Jess. “Jess Fowler.” ''Myasd'', Funeral Pro Chat, 2015, www.myasd.com/blog/article-toby-blackstar-discusses-funeral-customs-native-american-communities.</ref> ==History== [[File:1865 Comanche-Kiowa-Apache.png|thumb|left|1865 Treaty Map]] As members of the [[Kiowa-Tanoan]] language family, the Kiowa at some distant time likely shared an ethnic origin with the other [[Amerindian]] nations of this small language family: [[Tiwa language|Tiwa]], [[Tewa]], [[Towa language|Towa]], and others.<ref>{{Citation |last=Harbour |first=Daniel |title=Kiowa-Tanoan Languages |date=2017-03-29 |encyclopedia=Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Linguistics |url=https://oxfordre.com/linguistics/display/10.1093/acrefore/9780199384655.001.0001/acrefore-9780199384655-e-27 |access-date=2024-06-04 |language=en |doi=10.1093/acrefore/9780199384655.001.0001/acrefore-9780199384655-e-27 |doi-broken-date=1 November 2024 |isbn=978-0-19-938465-5}}</ref> By historic times, however, the Kiowa lived in a [[hunter-gatherer]] economy unlike the sedentary ''pueblo'' societies of the others.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Ortman |first1=Scott G. |last2=McNeil |first2=Lynda D. |date=2018 |title=The Kiowa odyssey: Evidence of historical relationships among Pueblo, Fremont, and Northwest Plains peoples |url=http://www.utahrockart2.org/pubs/patina/2017-The_Kiowa_Odyssey_Evidence_of_historical%20relationships_among%20Pueblo_Fremont_and_Northwest_Plains_peoples.pdf |journal=Plains Anthropologist |volume=63 |issue=246 |pages=169|doi=10.1080/00320447.2017.1335533 }}</ref> The Kiowa also had a complex ceremonial life and developed the '[[Winter counts]]' as calendars.

Searching for more lands of their own, the Kiowa traveled southeast to the [[Black Hills]] in present-day South Dakota and Wyoming around 1650. In the Black Hills region, the Kiowa lived peacefully alongside the [[Crow Nation|Crow Indians]], with whom they long maintained a close friendship, organized themselves into 10 bands, and numbered around 3000. Pressure from the [[Ojibwe]] in the north woods and edge of the great plains in Minnesota forced the Cheyenne, Arapaho, and later the Sioux westward into Kiowa territory around the Black Hills. The Kiowa were pushed south by the invading Cheyenne who were then pushed westward out of the Black Hills by the Sioux. In their early history, the Kiowa traveled with dogs pulling their belongings until horses were obtained through trade and raid with the Spanish and other Indian nations in the southwest. Eventually the Kiowa shared with the [[Comanche]] a vast territory called [[Comancheria]], on the central and southern great plains in western Kansas, eastern Colorado, most of Oklahoma including the panhandle, and the [[Llano Estacado]] in the [[Texas Panhandle]] and eastern [[New Mexico]].<ref>{{cite web|title=The Kiowa Indians|url=http://www.legendsofamerica.com/na-kiowa.html|access-date=2013-06-23}}</ref> The close relationship of the two tribes began in the early spring of 1790 at the place that would become [[Las Vegas, New Mexico]], a Kiowa party led by war leader Guikate, made an offer of peace to a [[Comanche]] party while both were visiting the home of a mutual friend of both tribes. This led to a later meeting between Guikate and the head chief of the Nokoni Comanche. The two groups made an alliance to share the same hunting grounds and entered into a mutual defense pact and became the dominant inhabitants of the Southern Plains. From that time on, the Comanche and Kiowa hunted, traveled, and made war together. In addition to the Comanche, the Kiowa formed a very close alliance with the [[Plains Apache]] (Kiowa-Apache), with the two nations sharing much of the same culture and participating in each other's annual council meetings and events. The strong alliance of southern plains nations kept the Spanish from gaining a strong colonial hold on the southern plains. ===Indian wars=== {{see also|Comanche-Mexico Wars}} In closing years of the 18th century and in the first quarter of the 19th century, the Kiowa feared little from European neighbors. Kiowa ranged north of the Wichita Mountains. The Kiowa and Comanche controlled a vast expanse of territory from the Arkansas River to the Brazos River. The enemies of the Kiowa were usually the enemies of the Comanche. To the east there was warfare with the Osage and Pawnee. In the early 19th, the Cheyenne and Arapaho began camping on the Arkansas River and new warfare broke out. In the south of the Kiowa and Comanche were Caddoan speakers, but the Kiowa and Comanche were friendly toward these bands. The Comanche were at war with the Apache of the Rio Grande region.<ref name="Dick Swift 1972"/> [[File:Cut-Throat Massacre, 1833.jpg|thumb|upright 0.5|Cut-Throat Massacre, 1833. A picture from the Dohasan winter count.]] They warred with the Cheyenne and Arapaho, Pawnee, Sac and Fox, and Osages. In summer 1833, the Osage attacked an exposed Kiowa camp near Head Mountain, Oklahoma. The Kiowa lost many aged people, children and women. The heads were cut off and placed in kettles. During this "Cut-Throat Massacre", the Osage captured the sacred Tai-me (the Sun Dance figure of the Kiowa) as well. The Kiowa were unable to perform the Sun Dance until the return of the Tai-me in 1835.<ref name=Boyd1981>Boyd, Maurice (1981): ''Kiowa Voices. Ceremonial Dance, Ritual and Song. Part I.''

Soule - Mamay-day-te.jpg|thumb|Mamay-day-te]] The years from 1873 to 1878 marked a drastic change in Kiowa lifestyle. In June 1874, the Kiowa, along with a group of Comanche and Cheyenne warriors, made their last protest against the European invaders at the [[Second Battle of Adobe Walls|Battle of Adobe Walls]] in Texas, which proved futile. In 1877, the first homes were constructed for the Indian chiefs and a plan was initiated to employ Indians at the Agency. Thirty Indians were hired to form the first police force on the Reservation.<ref>The Kiowa, U.S. Department of the Interior, Indian Arts and Crafts Board, Southern Plains Indian Museum and Crafts Center</ref> The Kiowa agreed to settle on a reservation in southwestern Oklahoma. Some bands of Kiowas [[Battle of Palo Duro Canyon|remained at large until 1875]]. Some of the [[Lipan Apache people|Lipan Apache]] and [[Mescalero|Mescalero Apache]] bands, with some Comanche in their company, held out in northern Mexico until the early 1880s, when Mexican and U.S. Army forces drove them onto reservations or into extinction. By the Treaty of Medicine Lodge in 1867, the Kiowas settled in Western Oklahoma and Kansas.<ref name="Swift1972">Swift, Dick. 1972. </ref> They were forced to move south of the Washita River to the Red River and Western Oklahoma with the Comanches and the Kiowa Apache Tribe. The transition from the free life of Plains people to a restricted life of the reservation was more difficult for some families than others.<ref name="Swift1972"/> ===Reservation period=== The reservation period lasted from 1868 to 1906. In 1873, the first school among the Kiowa was established by Quaker Thomas C. Battey. In 1877, the federal government built the first homes for the Indian chiefs and initiated a plan to employ Indians. 30 Indians were hired to form the first police force on the reservation. In 1879, the agency was moved from Ft. Sill to Anadarko.<ref name="ReferenceA">The Kiowa by U.S. Department of the Interior, Southern Plains Indian Museum, 1994.</ref> The 1890 Census showed 1,598 Comanche at the Fort Sill reservation, which they shared with 1,140 Kiowa and 326 Kiowa Apache.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.texasbeyondhistory.net/forts/indians.html|title=Frontier Forts > The Passing of the Indian Era|website=www.texasbeyondhistory.net}}</ref> An agreement made with the [[Cherokee Commission]] signed by 456 adult male Kiowa, Comanche, and Kiowa Apache on Sept. 28, 1892, cleared the way for the opening of the country to white settlers. The agreement provided for an allotment of {{convert|160|acre}} to every individual in the tribes and for the sale of the reservation lands ({{convert|2,488,893|acre|disp=or|abbr=on}}) to the United States – was to go into effect immediately upon ratification by Congress, even though the Medicine Lodge treaty of 1867 had guaranteed Indian possession of the reservation until 1898. The Indian signers wanted their names stricken but it was too late. A'piatan, as the leader, went to Washington to protest. Chief [[Lone Wolf the Younger]] immediately filed proceedings against the act in the Supreme Court, but the Court decided against him in [[Lone Wolf v. Hitchcock]] (1903). Agents were assigned to the Kiowa people. ===Modern period=== Since 1968, the Kiowa have been governed by the Kiowa Tribal Council, which presides over business related to health, education, and economic and industrial development programs.<ref name="KrachtB">B.R.

As early as 1891, Kiowa artists were being commissioned to produce works for display at international expositions. The "Kiowa Six" were some of the earliest Native Americans to receive international recognition for their work in the fine art world. They influenced generations of Indian artists among the Kiowa, and other Plains tribes.
