'''Pai'ngya''' (in English, '''Stands-in-the-Middle''') was a [[ | '''Pai'ngya''' (in English, '''Stands-in-the-Middle''') was a [[War in Heaven|War]] prophet of the North American [[Kiowa]] tribe and a likely subject of [[Faction Paradox|Cousin]] [[Belial (The Book of the World)|Belial]]'s experiments with the [[Remote]] in [[North America]]. Born in [[1849]], he participated in a [[Ghost Dance]] ceremony during the summer of [[1875]] and (as he told [[James Mooney|Dr James Mooney]] in [[1896]]) he was visited by a ''[[dakina]]'' which told him he would do battle with a buffalo man and take his rifle, which would demand a "tribute in bone and blood" but have the power to bring his ancestors back from the dead to drive the whites from the Kiowa lands. Two weeks later, he was involved in a skirmish with African American soldiers from [[Fort Sill]] and lost the pinky finger of his left hand fighting Sergeant [[James Rufus Daly]]. However, he then killed and scalped the Sargeant and stole his rifle. | ||
Pai'ngya believed himself to be an extension of this rifle, which he called [[A'daltem Ano'nde]]. He led the Kiowa into fifteen successful raiding parties against white settlers in [[Texas]] and [[Oklahoma]] between [[October]] [[1876]] and [[January]] [[1879]]. This included a [[September]] [[1877]] attack on a wagon train near [[Red Clay Ridge]], where the Kiowa left alive [[Nancy Sims Wilhauer]] (then seven years old). He died in [[1900]] and was the subject of [[Sazali Sabudin]]'s [[1972]] book ''[[Pai'ngya Stands-in-the-Middle: Cunning Mesmerist or Holy Warrior?]]'' ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Book of the War (novel)|The Book of the War]]'') | Pai'ngya believed himself to be an extension of this rifle, which he called [[A'daltem Ano'nde]].
