Kiowa ( KY-ə-wə, -⁠wah) or Ǥáuigú (Kiowa pronunciation: [kɔ́jɡʷú]) people are a Native American tribe and an Indigenous people of the Great Plains of the United States. They migrated southward from western Montana into the Rocky Mountains in Colorado in the 17th and 18th centuries and eventually into the Southern Plains by the early 19th century. In 1867, the Kiowa were forced to a reservation in Southwestern Oklahoma. Anthropologists have debated how an equestrian plains tribe like the Kiowa, having migrated from Montana, shared linguistic ancestry with the Tanoan speaking Pueblo peoples of the southwest.
