We brought cameras and audio gear to capture and preserve Kiowa Elders speaking Kiowa.
While there are books and reference materials helping to teach the Kiowa language, nothing compares to actually hearing a Kiowa speaker speaking Kiowa. Listening to Native speakers speaking Kiowa is the best way to hear our unique sounds, understand usage and get started learning our Kiowa language.
Bernadine Rhoades, Martha Koomsa Perez and Lance White provide insights and lessons on learning to speak Kiowa.
