In "the closing in" there are examples of horses dying and tai-me falls on the floor. horses and tai-me are both life-saving creatures symbolic of kiowa power and spiritual existence. so, what can we infer will happen to the kiowa people? question 1 options: the kiowa are going to decline. the kiowa are suffering and displaced during this section of the text. the "closing in" shows how the us calvary ultimately destroyed the remaining tribe members by slaughtering their horses. all of the above are correct because they all describe how the kiowa will suffer, decline, and have bad things happen to them.
