content: Morning Star tipi model (Taindoguat). White with red band around bottom and top including ears, edged with blue and yellow lines. Green dot at top center, four blue Maltese crosses at top of white field. Horsehair tuft at center back. Unpainted hide door. 57" (145 cm). Records: This tipi has the same history as the Doaya tipi of the same owner (245012) except that it was once renewed about 1884 by Odalpa. The two heavy blue and yellow lines represent rainbows. Four Maltese crosses represent "morning stars." It is supposed that the original dreamer had the rainbow and cross designs suggested to him from some decoration, possibly from a Catholic church in Mexico. Informant: Adalpepti. Model by Imota. Illustrated in Ewers 1978: 37. (C). Associated names: Tanguadal; Odalpa; Adalpepti; Imota. (from Merrill, William L. et al. 1997. A Guide to the Kiowa Collections at the Smithsonian Institution.
