Examining the place names, geographical knowledge, and cultural
associations of the Kiowa from the earliest recorded sources to the
present, Kiowa Ethnogeography is the most in-depth study of its
kind in the realm of Plains Indian tribal analysis. Linking
geography to political and social changes, William Meadows applies
a chronological approach that demonstrates a cultural evolution
within the Kiowa community. Preserved in both linguistic and
cartographic forms, the concepts of place, homeland, intertribal
sharing of land, religious practice, and other aspects of Kiowa
life are clarified in detail. Native religious relationships to
land (termed "geosacred" by the author) are carefully documented as
well. Meadows also provides analysis of the only known extant Kiowa
map of Black Goose, its unique pictographic place labels, and its
relationship to reservation-era land policies. Additional coverage
of rivers, lakes, and military forts makes this a remarkably
comprehensive and illuminating guide.
