Most Native American history was passed down from grandparents to grandchildren by telling stories about important events. In addition to the stories, many tribes kept a calendar record that showed one important event for each year with a simple drawing or glyph.

The museum has a unique calendar that shows 100 years of the Kiowa people’s history. One of these calendars, drawn by Silver Horn, will be on display at the museum until August 23. This calendar is unusual because there are two drawings for each year; one for summer and one for winter, and because there are several glyphs in each drawing.
