The Kiowas are a tribe of Native Americans, which migrated from western Montana southward into the Rocky Mountains in Colorado in the 17th and 18th centuries, and finally into the Southern Plains by the early 19th century. In 1867, the Kiowa were moved to a reservation in southwestern Oklahoma. Today they are federally recognized as Kiowa Tribe of Oklahoma with headquarters in Carnegie, Oklahoma. The Kiowa language (Cáuijògà) is still spoken today and is part of the Tanoan language family. As of 2011, there are 12,000 members.

1742-1743 UNITED STATES (Oklahoma / New Mexico) - The Chiricahua Apache Nation

1742 Chiricahua Apache Nation - Bonito, Chiricahua Chief

Considered being part of the Eastern Apaches (which include also the Mescalero, Jicarilla, Lipan, and Kiowa Apache), Chiricahua were, as other Apaches, a collection of bands which shared a common area, language, customs, and intertwined family relations. At the time they encountered Europeans, they were living in southwestern New Mexico and southeastern Arizona in the United States, and in northern Sonora and Chihuahua in Mexico, but today there are only two Chiricahua federally recognized tribes in the United States: the Fort Sill Apache Tribe (near Apache, Oklahoma); and the Chiricahua tribe located on the Mescalero Apache reservation (near Ruidoso, New Mexico).

The bands that are grouped under the Chiricahua term today had much history together: they intermarried and lived alongside each other, and they also occasionally fought with each other. They formed short-term as well as longer alliances that have caused scholars to classify them as one people. From the beginning of European American/Apache relations, there was conflict between them, as they competed for land and other resources, and had very different cultures. The "hotest" period of the conflict was between 1863 and 1886, when Chiricahua waged almost constant war against US settlers and the Army. The best-known warrior leader of the renegades, although he was not considered a 'chief', was Geronimo. He and Naiche led together many of the resisters during those last few years of freedom.

0042 UNITED STATES (Oklahoma) - Oklahoma City downtown skyscrapers

Utah, the first state in the USA from which I received a postcard, was the 45th admitted in the Union, and the coincidence makes that the second to be Oklahoma, the 46th entered, with exactly 104 years ago, on November 16, 1907. I honestly swear that I don't chose deliberately this day to share with you this postcard, especially since until the morning I didn't know when has entered Oklahoma in the Union. It's an entirely coincidental. Indeed, from some time the coincidences follow me as a shadow, but about that with another occasion.
