There are many possibilities of how the Kiowa Indians got their name from myths to mountain ranges. One likely story, is that they shared land with the Arapahoe Indians and they gave them that name because Kiowa means "creek people. "

How do you say I love you in kiowa?

Well I know this IS NOT the proper spelling but it sounds something like this- Aim go-doe bee-el-doe I am not a linguist so it's difficult to convey subtle differences in speed and inflection which can change the meaning of a word or phrase. The Kiowa language is not like English so it can be difficult to teach through writing alone. But what I wrote above I feel pretty safe about hehe. If you want to know more about the Kiowa language try getting in touch with the Kiowa Complex in Oklahoma. Hope this helped at least a little. = )
