  • Kiowa and Cheyenne's Story
    Kiowa and Cheyenne's Story Along the Santa Fe Trail My life changed forever along the Santa Fe Trail. It was hot August 2, 2003 as my family traveled homeward to Littleton, Colorado from a family vacation through Kansas. This side of Dodge City my husband, Jeff, nine-year-old Michael and seven-year-old Stacia and I debated whether or not to stop at a Point of Interest close to the highway. It was educational and free, so, why not, we stopped. The parking lot was completely empty except for an elderly man sitting on a bench and two skinny dogs close by him. As we headed up the trail leading to a sign explaining the local history, the dogs approached us. We glanced at the man for permission to pet the dogs. He just smiled in silence. We petted their thin sides, receiving kisses in return. The brown Boxer mix and the black Lab wearily followed us up the trail, laying down each time we stopped. After a brief rabbit chase, both dogs returned, following us back to the dry, dusty parking lot. I told the man to call his dogs since we were leaving. He said they weren‛t his. But, they had to be; no one else was around. I called him a liar and we began arguing! A Winnebago arrived and Jeff asked if the dogs belonged to them. No. The old man kept telling me to take the dogs. Finally Jeff whispered to me that the dogs didn‛t act like they knew the old man any better than they did us.

  • Chapter 9 Kiowa Ethnohistory and Historical Ethnography
    Chapter 9 Kiowa Ethnohistory and Historical Ethnography ______________________________________________________ 9.1 Introduction Kiowa oral and recorded traditions locate their original homeland in western Montana near the headwaters of the Yellowstone River. Through a series of migrations east, the Kiowa settled near the Black Hills, establishing and alliance with the Crow. Closely associated with the Kiowa were the Plains Apache, who were eventually incorporated into the Kiowa camp circle during ceremonies. While living in the Black Hills, the Kiowa adopted the horse becoming mobile.1 The intrusion of the Cheyenne and Sioux forced the Kiowa southwest. Spanish sources place the Kiowa on the southern plains as early as 1732.2 However Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, in 1805, located the tribe living along the Platte River. Jedediah Morse, in his 1822 work, A Report to the Secretary of War of the United States on Indian Affairs also reported to Secretary of War John C. Calhoun that the Wetapahato or Kiawas were located “…between the headwaters of the Platte River, and the Rocky Mountains.”3 Through changing political and economic circumstances the Kiowa eventually established a homeland north of Wichita Mountains and the headwaters of the Red River.4 The forays into Spanish territory enabled them to acquire more horses, captives, slaves, and firearms. The acquisition of horses, either through raiding or trade, completely reshaped Kiowa society. Differences in wealth and status emerged, a leadership structure evolved that united Kiowa bands into a singular polity with shared tribal ceremonies and societies.5 Possibly as early as 1790, the Kiowa concluded an alliance with the Comanche.

But the requirements of the [Administrative Procedure Act] remain the same. The court finds that the government failed to comply with these requirements in implementing the Suspension Rule.” — U.S. District Judge David Norton, ruling that the Environmental Protection Agency failed to follow the rules when it suspended the Clean Water Rule earlier this year.

  • Kiowa-Apache Stayed Together for Generations Even Have Basal Notches
    Part One of a Five-Part Series Plains Apaches and Kiowas Tribes That (Probably) Used The Vore Buffalo Jump By Gene Gade Perhaps the most important evidence from the Vore Buffalo Jump is that it was not used exclusively by a single tribe. On the contrary, the evidence from archaeology and other sources is that there was a virtual procession of tribes through the Black Hills region during the 300-year period of Vore site use. Ancestors of as many as seven tribes may have used the site. Each group left calling cards in the form of stone artifacts and other circumstantial evidence from which archaeologists and historians can piece together a truly fascinating story. Are you kidding? Kiowas & Apaches? People familiar with the written 19th Century history of the northern Great Plains will not be surprised by some of the tribes that are thought to have used the Vore site. The tribal names are familiar...Shoshone, Crow, Cheyenne, Arapaho, Lakota… and are still associated with the general area. However, it may surprise some readers that, for fully half of the Vore site use period, the most likely users were tribes that had completely left the Black Hills-Northern Plains region when that 19th Century history was written. The Kiowas were primarily in Oklahoma and Texas when the so-called “Indian Wars” occurred, and the famous conflicts of Caucasian Americans with the Apaches (Mangas Coloradas, Cochise, Victorio, Geromimo, et. al.) were in New Mexico, Arizona and northern Mexico. What is the evidence that Apaches and Kio- was were using the Vore site in the 1600’s? The Athapaskan Odyssey Anthropologists use many clues to infer the movements of peo- Geronimo did not use the Vore Buffalo ple prior to written records, including archaeology, oral history, Jump, but his linguistic and cultural myth, language affinities, material culture, and genetics.
