According to anthropologist Eric Luke Lassiter, does the fact that Kiowas are Christians today show that federal officials and missionaries succeeded in their policies of Western cultural imperialism? – Q/A (Question and Answer)

Answer:

~None of these~ Yes, because the U.S. government put an end to the Kiowa sun dance, the centerpiece of Kiowa ceremonies. Yes, because missionaries arrived as the buffalo were disappearing and Kiowa people were being confined to reservations. Yes, because the Christianizing of the Kiowa is the story of how one set of beliefs replaced another one wholesale.
