In this in-depth interdisciplinary study, Jenny Tone-Pah-Hote
reveals how Kiowa people drew on the tribe's rich history of
expressive culture to assert its identity at a time of profound
challenge. Examining traditional forms such as beadwork, metalwork,
painting, and dance, Tone-Pah-Hote argues that their creation and
exchange were as significant to the expression of Indigenous
identity and sovereignty as formal political engagement and
policymaking. These cultural forms, she argues, were sites of
contestation as well as affirmation, as Kiowa people used them to
confront external pressures, express national identity, and wrestle
with changing gender roles and representations. Resisting a
tendency to view Indigenous cultural production primarily in terms
of resistance to settler-colonialism, Tone-Pah-Hote expands
existing work on Kiowa culture by focusing on acts of creation and
material objects that mattered as much for the nation's internal
and familial relationships as for relations with those outside the
tribe. In the end, she finds that during a time of political
struggle and cultural dislocation at the turn of the twentieth
century, the community's performative and expressive acts had much
to do with the persistence, survival, and adaptation of the Kiowa
nation.
