Kiowa men wore their hair in braids, sometimes with a forelock or pompadour in front. Sometimes they wrapped their braids in fur. Kiowa women wore their hair either loose or braided and wore tribal tattoos on their foreheads. The Kiowas also painted their faces for special occasions.
Pretty much all tribes had powerful chiefs, depending upon how you define powerful. To the Indian, powerful would mean leadership and guidance. Nearly every tribe had this kind of chief.

Not many know about the thousands of other leaders such as Tecumseh and Uncas, yet their impact on their tribes and rightfully history is just as great as the well know chiefs.
