Kiowas upset over racial graffiti at high school


Members of the Kiowa Tribe of Oklahoma are upset after racial slurs against them were spray-painted on a wall at the high school in Hobart.

The graffiti targeted "Indians" but specifically named "Kiowas." Another slur was directed against an African-American person.

Kiowa residents say the graffiti highlights racial tensions in the town. The police department is investigating but has no leads.

The Hobart High School has washed over the graffiti. The superintendent said the school will punish any student found to be responsible.
