In the late 20th century about 10,000 Comanche lived in the United States. Many people were killed in violent battles between the Comanche and U.S. The northern branch of the tribe fought to protect its hunting grounds against white settlers. In the mid-1800s the southern branch of the Comanche were settled on a reservation in the Indian Territory (now Oklahoma). By the early 1800s the Comanche had become a powerful tribe. Their main source of food was bison meat, and they used the animals’ hides for clothing and as coverings for their tepees.ĭuring their travels the Comanche introduced other tribes to the use of horses.
The Comanche used their horses to hunt bison (buffalo). The Comanche got horses from the Spanish in the 1600s. The Comanche moved southward in stages, attacking and displacing other Plains tribes. The Comanche were originally a branch of the Shoshone people of Wyoming. They were one of the first tribes to use horses extensively.

This compelling and original book uncovers the lost story of the Comanches. The Comanche Native Americans were the furious warriors who situated themselves on the Southern Great Plains of the Native American groups. Yet, until now, the Comanche empire has gone unrecognized in American history. This powerful empire, built by the Comanche Indians, eclipsed its various European rivals in military prowess, political prestige, economic power, commercial reach, and cultural influence. In the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, a Native American empire rose to dominate the fiercely contested lands of the American Southwest, the southern Great Plains, and northern Mexico.
