Kiowa six

The Kiowa Six were a group of Native American artists from the Kiowa tribe, active mainly in the early 20th century. They combined traditional Kiowa culture and stories with Western artistic techniques, creating vibrant, detailed artworks often featuring tribal legends, ceremonies, and daily life. Their work gained national recognition, helping to showcase Indigenous perspectives and elevate Native American art within the broader American art scene. The Kiowa Six played a key role in fostering a distinct Native artistic identity and influenced subsequent generations of Indigenous artists.
