Cutthroat Gap massacre
The Cutthroat Gap massacre occurred in 1833, the "The Year the Stars Fell" in Oklahoma. A war party of 700 Osage warriors charged into a Kiowa camp and brutally slaughtered the women, children and elderly there. Most of the warriors of this group of Kiowas, headed by Chief A’date or “Islandman” had left to raid a band of Utes or had gone buffalo hunting. The camp was left mainly unguarded and when the Osage came, the Kiowas had no choice but to flee. The Osage killed approximately 180 Kiowa people and decapitated the victims heads and placed them in the cooking pots the Kiowa obtained in trade and took their sacred Tai-me medicine bundle and two children captive. Motives for the attack was that the Osage were angered by the Kiowas peaceful relations with the white intruders.
