Who are the Comanche?

The Comanche Indians were a Native American tribe that lived in the Great Plains region of what is now the United States. They were skilled horsemen and hunters, and they were known for their fierce warrior culture. The Comanche language is a part of the Uto-Aztecan language family, and the tribe is believed to have originated in the western Great Basin area.

During the 18th and 19th centuries, the Comanche were one of the most powerful tribes in the Southwest, and they played a major role in the history of the region. They were skilled traders and were known for their horsemanship, which they used to great effect in their wars against other Native American tribes and against European settlers.

The Comanche were known for their nomadic lifestyle, and they would often move their camps in search of food and water. They were also skilled at hunting buffalo, and they relied heavily on this resource for their survival. In addition to buffalo, the Comanche also hunted deer, antelope, and other game, and they gathered wild plants for food. They also traded with other Native American tribes and with European settlers, exchanging goods such as horses, buffalo hides, and other items.

The Comanche were organized into bands, and each band was led by a chief. The Comanche were known for their egalitarian society, and there was no central governing body or ruler. Instead, decisions were made through consensus and mutual agreement.

The Comanche were skilled warriors and were known for their fierce and relentless fighting style. They were feared by other Native American tribes and by European settlers, and they were often able to defend their territory against outside threats. However, the Comanche were also skilled at negotiating and making peace, and they often formed alliances with other tribes and with European settlers.

In the late 19th century, the Comanche were forced to move to reservations as part of the US government's policy of Indian removal. Many Comanche resisted this move, and they continued to fight against the US Army and settlers in the area. Despite their resistance, the Comanche were eventually forced onto reservations, where they continue to live today.

Despite the challenges they faced, the Comanche have managed to preserve their culture and traditions. They continue to speak their native language and practice their traditional customs and rituals. The Comanche Nation is now a sovereign nation recognized by the US government, and the tribe has a number of successful businesses and enterprises. Today, there are around 15,000 Comanche tribal members living in the United States.

Rattlesnake people of the Shoshone tribe from Wyoming dispatched to the deep south onto west Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado. Under the command of Quannah Parker who was half white they fought together with southern Cheyennes and Kiowas great battle against brutal general MacKenzie who defeat and crammed them into reservations. Later on he went up north to battle against Lakota who killed his friend general Custer and successfully managed to tame also the Lakotas and the northern Cheyennes, Arapahos, etc..
