An archaeologist discovers a knoll in the Black Hills where she believes Kiowa men used to go on vision quests in the early 1700s. Archaeological investigations reveal rock cairns where the men left offerings. An account by a French fur trader who visited the area in 1736 records the presence of the Kiowa in the area and documents the fact that they used the surrounding knolls for vision quests. Kiowa oral history indicates that this particular knoll and several nearby were used for vision quests prior to the tribe migrating onto the Southern Plains in the late 1700s, but that no Kiowa have visited the location in over two hundred years.
1. Based on the available evidence the knoll should be considered a traditional cultural property of the Kiowa Tribe of Oklahoma.
