Gordon was born in Berlin, but grew up in Arizona, Utah and California and attended Cactus Shadows High School in Cave Creek, Arizona. He is part of the Hualapai Nation which is placed in Northern Arizona,[1] and is a part of the same church as (the Twilight Saga)'s author Stephenie Meyer, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.[2] He is the second youngest of eight children (Mac, Sean, Aaron, Josh, Cheyenne, Sariah, Lakota, and himself), and his mother, Camille Nighthorse Gordon is also an actress.[3] Aside from acting Kiowa is also a vocalist.
In 2009, Gordon played werewolf Embry Call in New Moon, based on Stephenie Meyer's novel of the same name. Gordon has said that he was approached one day at church by Stephenie Meyer as she thought he would be perfect for the wolf pack. He then attended an open casting call where he landed the role of Jacob Black's best friend. He has now finished Eclipse, reprising his role as Embry. Kiowa replaced Krys Hyatt (who played Embry in Twilight) in New Moon and Eclipse.
He has recently relocated from Cave Creek, Arizona, to Los Angeles with his older brother Josh, who also hopes to break into acting. His sister Cheyenne was signed by Whilemina Modeling Agency in November 2009.
