Kiowa (from Gǎ'-i-gwŭ,
or Kǎ'-i-gwŭ,
'principal people,' their own name).
A tribe at one time residing about. the upper Yellowstone and
Missouri, but better known as centering about the upper Arkansas and
Canadian in Colorado and Oklahoma, and constituting, so far as present
knowledge goes, a distinct linguistic stock. They are noticed in Spanish
records as early, at least, as 1732. Their oldest tradition, which agrees
with the concurrent testimony of the Shoshoni and
Arapaho, locates them about the junction of Jefferson, Madison, and
Gallatin forks, at the extreme head of Missouri river, in the neighborhood
of the present Virginia City, Mont. They afterward moved down from the
mountains and formed an alliance with the
Crows, with whom they have since continued on friendly terms. From
here they drifted southward along the base of the mountains, driven by the
Cheyenne and
Arapaho, with whom they finally made peace about 1840, after which
they commonly acted in concert with the latter tribes. The
Sioux claim to have driven them out of the Black hills, and in 1805
they were reported by Lewis and Clark as living on the North, Platte.
