A Metal Arrowhead from Coryell County, Texas
A metal projectile point was rediscovered in an artifact collection during a survey project of Comanche traditional cultural properties at Fort Hood, Texas. Ethnographic and historical references to Comanche arrowheads were consulted to interpret this artifact. A growing literature on metal points enables comparative study which shows that the characteristics of the Fort Hood point are comparable to those of others discovered throughout Texas and…

Photographic Evidence for Southern Plains Armor
The use of armor by Plains Indians is one of the more obscure culture traits of the area. Although there are enough occasional references in early historical works to ascertain armor use and reconstruct some of the particulars, pictorial and artifact evidence has been virtually nonexistent. The recent discovery by Lawrence T. Jones III of a photographic carte de visite portraying an unknown Comanche, Kiowa, or Kiowa Apache (Plains Apache) man cir…

From Dominance to Disappearance: The Indians of Texas and the Near Southwest, 1786-1859
The historiographic terrain of the later near Southwest (the Louisiana-Texas frontier zone) has resembled the “neutral ground” once established in that region. Scholars have ventured through from different directions, blazing paths and making trade, but control of the territory by anyone has been delayed. With From Dominance to Disappearance, F. Todd Smith provides the total narrative. Smith's explicit goal is to write a sequel to Elizabeth A. H.…

Powwow Patter: Indian Emcee Discourse on Power and Identity
Emcees of southern Plains Indian powwows are distinctive verbal artists and agents in the continuing negotiation of Indian identity. Their formal announcements and jovial patter construct an overtly "Indian" space and time while fostering discourse on ethnicity, a discourse that carries over into other settings through traditional transmission of the emcee's jokes and observations. Examples are drawn from 15 years of fieldwork at Comanche, Kiowa,…

Pour les Comanches, les montagnes, les collines sont les lieux de residence d'esprits benefiques, lieux privilegies de vision et de quete mystique qui prefigurent la resolution imminente des problemes, alors que les lieux inferieurs (lacs isoles, criques) sont des endroits dangereux ou apparaissent des fantomes malveillants.
