Today they are federally recognized as Kiowa Tribe of Oklahoma with headquarters in Carnegie, Oklahoma. The Kiowa language (Cáuijògà) is still spoken today and is part of the Tanoan language family. , there are 12,000 members.

Usage examples of "kiowa".

Now I'd best contact the central Kiowa Comanche agency at Anadarko and see if they can shed any light on Colonel Howard's campaign plans.

But they offered summer shade and winter windbreaks at a fair distance from the well-meaning Kiowa agents up around Akota, and so Longarm wasn't surprised to see tipi smoke rising against the golden western sky as he, the two gals, and five ponies topped another grassy rise after one tedious afternoon in the saddle.

As the Kiowa kid had sounded mighty demanding, Longarm decided the two gals would be all right for now.

He hadn't been gone long when a couple of shy, or scared-looking, Kiowa gals came in with an iron pot and some trading post china bowls.

As they dished out generous helpings of a sort of cracked corn and venison stew, Matty told Longarm and Minerva the Kiowa gals apologized for such a late supper.

Rowdy knew the Kiowa language, and he could distinguish some of their talk.

He told them the spirits of the great warriors, enemies of the Kiowa, were all about him.

Those western outposts were built to police far wilder nations such as Comanche, Kiowa, and Kiowa-Apache.

The recently shot-up and calmed-down Comanche and their Kiowa allies have been moved off their old reservation in the Texas Panhandle and resettled around Fort Sill.

The trouble only got serious after that Kiowa chief came in for a government handout and gloated to Agent Tatum that he'd wiped out a wagon train.

Now that everyone's agreed on Quanah Parker as the heap big chief of the Comanche and spokesman for his orphaned Kiowa children, things have commenced to get more progressive.

The Kiowa and that half-ass bunch of stray Apache they've adopted are still trying to live their old free ways.

Ranger Mason tells me you're on government business, bound for the Kiowa Comanche Reservation just to the north.

He doubted they'd have any call to shoot at anything between here and the river, and once they were on the Kiowa Comanche hunting ground beyond, shooting was reserved for hunters of the Indian persuasion.

As they rode up through the timber along the far bank, Godiva asked how far ahead the Kiowa Comanche reserve was, and when he told her they were on it, she allowed she'd expected a fence or at least some signs posted.
