Kiowa

The Kiowa are a Native American tribe originally from the Great Plains, primarily present in Oklahoma. Historically, they were skilled horsemen and hunters, known for their nomadic lifestyle and rich cultural traditions such as storytelling, dance, and artistry. The Kiowa played significant roles in regional history, notably during the 19th century conflicts and negotiations with the U.S. government. Today, they continue to maintain their cultural identity through language, ceremonies, and community practices, with many members actively preserving their heritage while participating in modern American society.
