Kiowa Tribe

Subject Source: Local sources

Scope Note: "After 1840, the Kiowas joined forces with their former enemies, the Cheyennes, as well as the Comanches and the Apaches, to fight and raid the Eastern natives who were moving into the Indian Territory. The United States military intervened, and in the Treaty of Medicine Lodge of 1867, the Kiowas agreed to settle on a reservation in southwestern Oklahoma. On August 6, 1901 Kiowa land in Oklahoma was opened for white settlement. While each Kiowa head of household was allotted 160 acres, the only land remaining in Kiowa tribal ownership today is what was the scattered parcels of ‘grass land’ that had been leased to the white settlers for grazing before the reservation was opened for settlement." - Kiowa Trbe.org
