Cole I'll do the best I can and give you a much condensed version:
Kiowa can really be called only marginal Texas indians. Their principal homeland was to the north and east of the Texas panhandle in the Wichita mountains of OK. Where they origianlly came from God alone knows. Their own tradition says they came from the Yellowstone and upper Missouri country of Montana. @1780 they were in the Black Hills of SD. They and their confederates, Kiowa Apache, got driven out by the Dakota and Cheyenne and drifted south to the Wichitas.
Comanches came from the Northern Shoshones in the Rockies. Around 1700 they broke out into the plains of eastern Colorado when they acquired horses. By 1705 they were in NM and by @1750 they were in control of most of the southern plains having split the plains apache it two. Those that they didn't kill that is.
Did the Wichita engage in cannibalism?
Depends on which bunch of wichita people you are talking about. Kitchi did but it is arguable whether or not they were Wichita or Caddo. Waco and Tehuacana did. I don't know about the Wichita proper which were in Kansas mostly.
That is about the best thumb nail I can give w/o doing a whole lot more research than I want to do at the moment. Even for you buddy.
