Prior to widespread literacy; the Kiowa people recorded their history in pictorial calendars; marking an entry for each summer and each winter. One Hundred Summers presents a recently discovered calendar; created by the Kiowa master artist Silver Horn. Covering the period from 1828 to 1928; the pictures trace Kiowa experiences from buffalo to biplanes; from horse raiding to World War I service; offering an indigenous perspective on a critical period of Kiowa history. The calendar; now housed at the Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History; is reproduced in full color in this book.
