Mooney employs an ethnographic approach, presenting detailed accounts of Kiowa lunar rituals and interpretations of celestial events.

Additionally, Mooney's writing style is both informative and engaging, offering a blend of anthropological analysis and historical narrative. This work serves as a unique contribution to the field of Indigenous studies, shedding light on the rich spiritual traditions of the Kiowa tribe. James Mooney, a renowned ethnographer and scholar of Native American culture, demonstrates a deep respect for the Kiowa people in his comprehensive study. His background in anthropology and fieldwork experience allowed him to accurately portray the intricacies of Kiowa calendar traditions. Mooney's dedication to preserving Indigenous knowledge through written records underscores his commitment to cultural preservation. I highly recommend 'Calendar History of the Kiowa Indians' to readers interested in exploring Native American cosmology and time-reckoning systems. This illustrated edition not only provides valuable insights into Kiowa culture but also offers a bridge to understanding the broader significance of Indigenous calendars in the study of world civilizations.
