Publisher's Synopsis
The ""Calendar History of the Kiowa Indians"" is a book written by James Mooney that provides a comprehensive account of the Kiowa tribe's history, culture, and traditions. This particular edition is a large print version, making it easier for readers with visual impairments to read and enjoy. Mooney's book is based on his extensive research and fieldwork among the Kiowa people during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The book is divided into two parts. The first part provides an overview of the Kiowa tribe's history, including their migration to the Great Plains, their interactions with other tribes, and their struggles with European settlers. The second part of the book is a detailed calendar of Kiowa events, ceremonies, and rituals. The Kiowa calendar is based on a complex system of lunar and solar cycles, and each month is associated with specific activities and events. Mooney provides a month-by-month description of these activities, including religious ceremonies, hunting and gathering practices, and social gatherings. Throughout the book, Mooney also includes numerous Kiowa myths, legends, and stories that provide insight into the tribe's beliefs and values.
