B: followed a male dominated authority

The Kiowa are one of the aboriginal tribes of the United States. They lived in the extensive plains of the states of Texas and Oklahoma and are currently located in the latter.

It should be noted that the Kiowa culture practiced polygamy, because there were more women than men and was a society oriented towards men (this means they were patrilineal with a chiefdom). In fact, the women of the tribe, although characterized by having a strong character and being able to defend the camp when the men were away, only achieved prestige by the exploits performed by her husband (or her sons or father) or through art.

In addition, the Kiowa were divided mainly into six large groups or bands, which had their own chief subordinate to the chieftain of the tribe.
