A Member of the Kiowa Tribe
This young woman was all smiles when her photo was taken in 1894. She was a member of the Kiowa tribe, a nomadic society that became a tribe around 1650. They resided near the Missouri River for a long time before relocating to the Black Hills where they lived alongside the Crow tribe. But then they moved down to Arkansas’ Red River to avoid other Native American tribes that were attempting to steal their land.
