The Kiowa were a tribe of American Indians from Oklahoma. From 1860 they held an annual sun dance which was a way for them to keep bison plentiful and the tribe flourishing. It had a strong religious meaning for the tribe. In this book, the author describes the process by which the dance comes about and the symbolism associated with it.
