My son had to make a presentation on the Kiowa tribe. This book was recommended on a web site we found. It packed a lot of information into its pages. It told the tale of the life and plight of these people so my son could use details in his talk and bring the people to life. (4th grade project)
An excellent introduction to Kiowa culture and history
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I was surprised at the clear and concise writing that introduces the reader to the history and culture of the Kiowa people. The author looks at the Kiowa people's relationships with surrounding tribes and their understanding of their own environment. There is some real depth on relating the survival of the Kiowa to the vision of the buffalo entering Mount Scott in Oklahoma. The author does an outstanding job of showing that the Kiowa people's ongoing survival is specifically because of the richness of their own history and culture. A great glossary and fine illustrations also add to the overall value of this book.
