Reseña del libro "Kiowa Changes: A History of Encounter, Adaptation and Survival"
This monograph is a study of the Kiowa Tribe's reactions to change; utilizing a transcultural perspective, it appraises their experience from their Paleolithic pre-continent existence into the twenty-first century. The object is to demonstrate the syncretic nature of the convergence of Kiowa culture with other peoples. Current tribal focused literature tends to foster a persistence of the relatively short-lived horse-centered cultural, the ethos that prevailed from the late eighteenth to the middle nineteenth centuries. That period has been venerated as the ideal way-of-life, as the status quo ante. An obsession with the “abstracted, meta-historical structural elements” of the brief period called here the horse-centered culture, overlooks the significance of changes and how they helped the tribe to survive. Consequently, the literature is ignoring much of their tribal history.
