| Abstract |
This collection of 16 documents and a culture summary provide a variety of cultural, historical and environmental information from two historical periods. The first covers the Comanche's long history from antiquity to their first contact with Europeans in 1701, to their defeat by the United States army in the 1870s. The second is from 1875 to the 1990s, and includes the Comanche's 1875 confinement to a reservation, and 1901-1906 when that reservation was broken into scattered allotments. All documents are in English except Canonge which includes stories and folktales in the Comanche language with English translations. The Comanche are a loosely organized Native American group who, before their confinement to reservations, occupied the southern Great Plains grasslands across southeastern Colorado, eastern New Mexico, western Oklahoma, and western Texas. The headquarters of the Comanche Nation is now in southwest Oklahoma. |
