This Kiowa Language Community Session, held on Sunday, March 29, 2026, provides an opportunity to hear spoken Kiowa language and to learn Kiowa from fluent Kiowa speakers and focuses on listening and hearing the interpretation of each speaker in the Kiowa Culture Program (KCP) recording tape #051 – Moving Habits of Kiowas, where each Elder gave their translation of what each speaker shared during the recording; reviewed and selected potential topics for future Sunday sessions; questions from participants, etc. An opportunity to hear spoken Kiowa language and to learn Kiowa from fluent Kiowa speakers will be provided through bi-weekly Kiowa Language Community Sessions, held on Zoom on Sunday afternoons beginning January 11 through May 31 (excluding holidays) for the Spring of 2026. These community-based sessions provide participants with an opportunity to ask Kiowa Elders and fluent Kiowa speakers for translations as well as will focus on hearing the Kiowa Culture Program tape recordings, translations of various Kiowa songs, traditional and contemporary, such as learning various Kiowa Hymns and when they are appropriate to sing, listening to Kiowa songs in the Indians for Indians Radio archives, and listening to Kiowa song recordings in the Hanks Collection archive. LearnKiowa.org is a community-based, grassroots website launched by the Post Family and led by Dr. Redbird-Post with the goal of providing Kiowa language learners, interested Kiowa parents, and teachers of Kiowa children and students of all ages with an online archive of Kiowa language teaching and learning materials arranged by age group. Made possible by the First Nations Development Institute and the 2022 Luce Indigenous Knowledge Fellowship.
