Review of Oklahoma: Kiowa Military Societies: Ethnohistory And Ritual, by William C. Meadows

2011

William C. Meadows’ book represents the last significant ethnographical work to result from over twenty years of anthropological observation among the Kiowa, Comanche and Apache. The presented case-study of these indigenous military societies focuses on their strong martial ethos and warrior culture that preserves peculiar and secular social sodalities over time.
