This Is The Most Powerful Native American Tribe In History

Before America was the United States of America it was populated by various Native American tribes. Some tribes were larger and lived in more expansive territories than others. Some of the especially notable tribes were the Iroquois that held vast territories in Eastern America and the Ojibwe in the Midwest. But in the Southwest, the Comanche nation was the dominant tribe of the southern Great Plains. They were known for their ruthless warriors and raids on other tribes and European settlers alike. Their dominance and ruthlessness earned them the nickname “The Lord of The Plains.” But why were the Comanches so successful in asserting their rule? What made them one of the most powerful Native American tribes in history?

Im a Comanche and a member of the Comanche nation tribe out of Lawton Oklahoma. Trying to learn our language so I can teach my kids. I hope all native nations can keep their ways alive!

My grandfather was the last medicine man for the Comanche Nation, Thomas Blackstar Sr. I"m proud of my heritage.

My Dad side is Comanche descendants from Oklahoma Area, and my Mom side Lakota descendants. Learning what your ancestors were like is pretty cool.

My next door neighbor is part Cherokee & is so psychic that she spooks me. She is incredibly artistic, totally self-sufficient when necessary, will do anything for a person in need, yet she is strange in several ways. Love her .

I’m glad that many people are trying hard to understand and keep their wonderful Indian ancestry history alive, Proud Cherokee blood here!, Great Smoky Mountains of North Carolina, ,

You know that the native Indian were great warriors, when the Army called their helicopters after these great people. Lots of respect to these warriors.

I was married to Comanche, her grandfather lived through 13 bullet wounds. She had degree in Education, 5 master's degrees an could speak 13+ languages, while teaching romance languages like French, German, but could also speak Japanese, Chinese, Russian! Needless to say, she's pretty smart!

I love hearing about the cultures and history of Native Americans. The photography and art visuals here are absolutely beautiful.

I wish the Comanche would attack the people who interrupt videos with all these annoying commercials.

I live right by Wichita mountains and the comanche tribe is the biggest tribe here. I am fascinated with the stoicism and the history of all native American people. The comanche nation fair is absolutely massive and fun as hell. Come check it out sometime

The Native Americans have always had a proud history of standing up to their enemies

[Henry-qyeg]

I'm Mescalero Apache and Comanche, very proud of who I am. I have a spanish last name and offended when people talk to me in spanish, I come across as being racist. We as Native Americans should embrace who we are and incorporate good trades of others. We are survivors and should evolve as a people but keep our identity!

[danwinger]

I am proud of my Cherokee heritage. I was raised traditional and I raised my children traditional as well. AHO!

[slayer]

Its criminal that to this day the descendants of these people are still treated as second class citizens in their own country.

Awesome my native brothers and sisters much love from New Zealand Native Nation

Remember, the Navajo Code talkers helped win us the war.

My great grandfather, as a 10 year old, encountered a band of Comanche while he was hunting small game on the Leona river in southwest Texas. He hid in some brush as they stopped to water the horses. They had a dead deer strapped across a pony and pulled the deer off and gutted it. They took the raw liver and split it among themselves. After resting for about an hour, loaded up the deer and remounted and rode on across the river. My grandpa hightailed it back to the ranch

It matters not what nations Native Americans are from, they're brothers and sisters
to me. May they all live long
and prosper.

Don’t give up learning about your people and tribe, even if your European and or African in heritage, seek and learn. Learn who all of you are and don’t be ashamed to embrace who you are and seek out those people, learn!

I have been told by the Peruvians that, the Caribs were so deadly that the spaniards had to stop navigating their galleons loaded with gold into the Caribbean sea. Every time they did, the Caribs would go out at night in their canoes, board the galleons and sink them ...so this is why it is called the Caribbean sea.
