One of the great tribes of the Southwest Plains, the Kiowas were
militantly defiant toward white intruders in their territory and
killed more during seventy-five years of raiding than any other
tribe. Now settled in southwestern Oklahoma, they are today one of
the most progressive Indian groups in the area. In Bad Medicine and
Good, Wilbur Sturtevant Nye collects forty-four stories covering
Kiowa history from the 1700s through the 1940s, all gleaned from
interviews with Kiowas (who actually took part in the events or
recalled them from the accounts of their elders), and from the
notes of Captain Hugh L Scott at Fort Sill. They cover such topics
as the organization and conduct of a raiding party, the brave deeds
of war chiefs, the treatment of white captives, the Grandmother
gods, the Kiowa sun dance, and the problems of adjusting to white
society.
