520			_a"Societies of the Kiowas" by Robert H. Lowie is an anthropological study written in the early 20th century, specifically published in 1916. The book delves into the social structures and organizations of the Kiowa tribe, focusing on the various men's and women's societies that played a pivotal role in their cultural identity and community interactions. In this work, Lowie explores the distinct characteristics and functions of multiple Kiowa societies such as the Rabbits, Shepherds, and the Black Feet among others. Each society has its unique traditions, memberships, dances, and ceremonies, reflecting the tribe's warrior ethos and social hierarchies. Through firsthand accounts and field research conducted with Kiowa informants, the author paints a detailed picture of these societies, emphasizing their importance in maintaining social order and cultural continuity within the Kiowa community. The book serves as a rich resource for understanding the complexities of tribal life, rituals, and the communal responsibilities that shaped the identities of the Kiowa people.
