used in school project

This book does not give the best historical perspective of the Kiowa. But it does give a good amount of information on day to day life. I was struck by the detail given to assembling the tepee and tanning the buffalo hide. From that perspective, I thought the book did a nice job of conveying the Kiowa people. Also read Dolson's The Kiowa Indians. I believe these two books complement each other nicely. They laid the basic framework for my son's 4th grade school project.
