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!
The Comanches sold the rest of the tribes out. They allowed the US to be what it is now. All our Tribes together they would not had a chance. The Tribes of Sentinel Island had and still have the right idea. Not being racist but keeping the white people of our land would have been the best thing for us all.
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,,
Lois Johnson... Another Proud Cherokee here! My grandmother was from the TN reservation. My mother is 💯 Percent, My father is 48 percent Cherokee, and 2 percent Apache. PROUD to be Native American. I got a beautiful Tattoo that says Cherokee Pride across my shoulders. My 2 daughters each have Dream Catchers tattoos on their backs with my parents names, and my name in the middle. Went with my mom before she passed away to the Trail of Tears. I cried.
@Shelia Farmer same here on both sides..out of eastern KY..( breathitt)....I urge anyone with validation of your ancestry..to learn what you can of the ways..the traditions.and pass that down
May I ask if you know the fact that the Second Amendment in the USA was historically put in place in the American Constitution, mainly to encourage slaughtering indigenous Native American people, in order to take over their homeland. Moreover, the hidden mega genocide of indigenous Native Americans, and their population in Continents of America 500 yrs ago was around 15 millions, while European population in Europe was around 25 millions. Today, Native Americans population is 15 million, while the European population, in the Continents of America + Europe, is a staggering 'TWO BILLION'! For instance, 200 years ago here in the USA, around 3 million Germans came, and now there are 65 millions German-Americans; while 150 years ago, around 2 millions Irish came, and now there are 45 million Irish-Americans. While 500 years ago there were estimated to be 5 to 6 millions indigenous Native Americans in the USA, before Christopher Columbus arrived, today there are only around 2 million indigenous Native Americans survived. Imagine this scenario, if Native American people cross the Atlantic, invade and Colonize Europe, and slaughter most Europeans, and put the remaining populations in tiny reservations, for 500 long years. How would Europeans feel about it? Think about it. All they need is their beloved motherland back, the lands that their ancestors' forebears had lived through thick and thin, endured through hardships and all for generations. Besides, indigenous Native Americans in Colonized lands of Anglo British, Spaniard and others are more of the same. Kill the indigenous Natives and whoever is left, marginalize them and create artificial poverty, once that poverty becomes crime and drinking, the media points to the poor and blames them to continue to stigmatize the 'other' community, scumbags, etc. Amazing fact that Indigenous Natives had built such great civilizations as Mayan, Inca and Aztec without outside help, and all from scratch, and all on their own, since they had been cut off from the rest of the world for twenty thousand years. In other words, they actually are great and proud people. Imagine what it would be like today if Native Americans had possessed some sort of nuclear weapons to defend themselves, and their beloved motherlands from invaders Colonizers? The answer is they would still have their own beloved motherlands, plus their population comparable to that of the European population. In my humble opinion, it's about time to decolonize the Colonized lands, and return it to rightful owners Native American people. Remember, notorious global cardinal crimes the West has committed, and benefited a great deals, such as Slavery & Colonialism had long been over, why on earth is this another notorious Colonization still lingering on, may I ask? 🤔
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.
Right. I still don't get the offense of Washington Redskins. It was not an insult. Why would a team want to be called that if it was a term of disdain? I think it was mean t to conjure up an image of brave warriors who the other team would not want to mess with.
@Bright Light I have friends that are Indian, they seem more down to earth and smarter than you by 10x’s. They are a proud group of citizens. I get along better with them, than idiots like you. You probably heard of Daniel Boone, his special skills was learned from the Indians. I respect those Indian warriors for defending their rights. Too bad, there weren’t enough of them to kill all the evil settlers of the past that have attitudes like you.
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
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!

However, the premise of my comment was to strike a rise out of you and get you to react in an upset manner. Seeing as I have achieved this result, I am now satisfied. This is what is called Trolling, Tim. People do this on the internet for no reason because we lack substance in our lives 😂
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 house.....
I don't know exactly because he died long before I came along in '49. And my dad has been dead since 1995 but by what I DO know, it would have been pre civil war, probably in the late 1850's. On my mother's side, had two great,great uncles, Asa and Jabob walker killed at the Alamo battle manning the cannon in front of the chapel doors, according to Suzannah Dickenson, a survivor of the battle. Both sides of my family have been here a LONG time. Just a little trivia for you......
@@devanjaques7143 Thank you, for enjoying it. My family has been in Texas since 1803 on my daddy's side,( my ggggrandfather was a Redcoat in the revolution) and on my Mama's side, my gggrandfather's two brothers, were killed manning the cannon in front of the chapel doors, in the Alamo battle and I have heard countless stories about our family and Texas ancestry while I was growing up. Fighting comanches, Confederate battles, etc. Everything you can think of. Anyway, thank you for your response and stay safe....
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!
Why would you get offended.. not everyone can speak there native language. Spanish is all we know or English. You are typing in English now. So that’s already ironic.
@@CHARLIEHORSE25 I heard about that also, it just wasn't the Navajo's, there were other tribes who were also part of the code talkers, including the commanche in WW2
I recommend this book "Comanches put the prisoner to work digging a hole, telling him they needed it for a religious ceremony. When the captive, using a knife and his hands, had completed digging a pit about five feet deep, they bound him with rope, placed him in it, filled the hole with dirt, packing it around his body and exposed head. They then scalped him and cut off his ears, nose, lips, and eyelids. Leaving him bleeding, they rode away, counting on the sun and insects to finish their work" for them. Later, back at their encampment, they told the story as an excellent joke, one which gained them a certain celebrity throughout the tribe.
I grew up with the stories of Quanah Parker and his mother and father and pictures of him hanging everywhere... Unfortunately I don't share blood with them but the man who raised me was their descendant and he was so very proud of his heritage...
The odds of being a direct descendant of someone that was alive in the 1900s arent very good. Go further back a few generations and the odds are better. Chances are you share a common ancestor with his mother within 10 generations back so him too. Youd be surprised.
I never get tired of looking at old photos of native Americans. To me they are the most beautiful of all ethnic groups, but that's just personal preference. I wonder what they would be doing now if Europeans had never found America. The wild west is iconic, the horses, war paint, headdresses, papooses, language, guns, cowboy hats and boots, everything about it is an amazing design and sensory sensation. But I find it curious that modern native Americans don't acknowledge that the Commanche actually did more harm to them, killing all men, than did the Europeans who at least created reservations.
@@joshuatraffanstedt2695 Quanah Parker died in 1911 and the man that raised me was born in 1937... he can trace the lineage... I grew up in Weatherford Texas which is in Parker County... that area was settled by Cynthia Anne's family... I don't carry their blood but have been raised by a man that was oh so proud of his heritage... I was born with Parker as my last name and I passed it on to my children.. just to honor my daddy...
There are several items very incorrect in this video. I am Comanche. Born and raised. There are several good resources if you truly want to learn more. Including tribal directed websites and books. Always double check sources Including asking the tribe itself.
@@chaselost They will never tell the truth because to much is at steak (Land). When you make a people think they from Africa they will never think to look at the land they are originally from. The first Africans to hit the Americas from a slave boat was only 20 Africans in the 1500. Go look at census back then they changed the identities to Black (Freemen) we are the ones who didn’t go to the reservations.
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!
Disease did more to weaken them than anything. That and bad luck The Iroquois confederation would probably have remained a British dependency had the British defeated the American rebels with continued ties down the Ohio Valley. If The British provided better support to Tecumseh during the War of 1812. . the Ohio country would have become part of Canada. But if Napoleon had not made his ill-fated venture into Russia , and British war with France would have last for years longer, the United States would have been punished worse, and maybe New England would have decided to rejoin British North America.
Like almost all other tribes the Comanche were peaceful by nature and warriors by necessity. This video is a perfect example of whitewashed history! The Comanche were peaceful hunter-gatherers. It is laughable to say that they became warriors simply because they got horses. This happened 100 years after the colonizers came. The colonizers spread disease, misinformation, war, and famine so tribes were confused and in chaos. That is at which point this guy is talking about. Not before the settlers came, not even during their first few years, but after 2 - 3 generations of enslavement, disease, famine, and war. Families were murdered and raped. Elders, babies, and women were slaughtered. Atrocities like this can change a people. If someone raped and murdered your entire family you just might do some awful things to them in return. Like almost all other tribes the Comanche were peaceful by nature and warriors by necessity.
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.
I was told by the Southies that the Beans sailed down from Boston and didn't let the Yankees find gold in the Carribean. Thats why its called Carri-bean sea.
This is a far too brief and over-simplified story of the Comanche to be useful or accurate. The book: "Empire Of The Summer Moon" by S.C. Gwynne is an excellent history of the Comanche. It is referenced in these comments and worth reinforcing. It is accurate, and tough to put down.
Being from Texas, l highly recommend the reading of this book. The author gives in-depth history of the tribe and the going-ons throughout the years of dominance of the South Plains. He also made the point of any interlopers caught out in the Comancharia being attacked to save a bullet for each man,woman and child. For ya didn't want to be taken alive. One in the ol' brainpan was always better than being skinned alive and tortured beyond a hideous description. And this narrator mispronounced the area The Comanche controlled. Co-mach-a-ria is how the syllables are broken down for properly pronouncing their domain.
my grandma was 100% cherokee and did what she wanted and considered herself an american and never a second class citizen. they do not have live on reservations, can do whatever they want to do.
It is also the only private treaty recognized by the U.S. government. The Comanches saw it as applying to the German settlers of the Fisher-Miller grant, and not to other Texans. UT Arlington was given a contemporary copy of the treaty.
@@Peet1206 Yes, those guys are hard workers and they know their computer science. I am glad they corrected that as well, but if you are speaking of the native people of the North American Continent, then their has been no reset on the perception of Native Americans in the US.
Ja od dziecka kochałem indian i teraz też ich kocham i szanuję.Tak naprawdę to oni byli w kilku krajach świata i mieli historię wyjątkowe . Pozdrawiam serdecznie wszystkich indian z całego świata. Błogosławionego życia życzę wszystkim.
Readable, accurate. However, Comanches ran other tribes off of “their” land. Tribes didn’t own “their mother”. Nor was the occupying of land commonly used by another “tribe” (either White or Indian) limited to only one. I have issues with ‘whites stole our land’ arguments. Tribes didn’t own land.
Except I don’t recall reading “Whites stole the land…” in that book. Whites didn’t steal anything, it was a fight to the death & we won. Plus, other nations, tribes, peoples or any other label to humans you can think of, all did it. So yeah, post your own comment & keep me out of your lectures. Thanks.
For me I find that I learn so much and love to tune into the FNX tv channel(short for first nation's experience) It is better for me than most any other channel offered these days on tvs. We like to learn from this channel about many other cultures, histories, and backgrounds When we watch it, it settles our minds and brings a peaceful feeling. Our household always takes time to tune in to this channel FNX(first nation's experience). I'm so glad we discovered it on TV. We have recorded whole series recently.
My husband is Comanche, direct descendent of Qwana Parker, I teach them about their heritage and culture and let them know who they are. Children of God and Comanche Warriors.♥️
@@leeleeturn "The Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) laugh when people speak to them of obedience to kings; for they cannot reconciles the idea of submission with the dignity of man. Each individual is a sovereign in his own mind; and as he conceives he derives his freedom from the Creator alone he cannot be induced to acknowledge any other power. But that freedom does not allow for anyone to abuse the freedom of others. The Six Nations of the Iroquois put aside their differences and put an end to war. They included the Cayuga, Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga (my people), Seneca, and Tuscarora. Perpetual Peace.
glad to meet you thunderwolf you speak wisely i have on both sides of my parents some cherokee have visited new echota this and other factors gave me a deep love and respect for the native peoples blessings to you my friend
This photography is just...fantastic, amazing, truly treasures of history. Hats off to the bravery and foresight of the photographers back then. I'd love to see a video about their history, how they lived and survived in the fields while gathering them.... I am Canadian Mètis on my mother's side. She married a Norwegian while many of my aunties and uncles ( 13 of them ) married other Mètis and native tribal peoples. I wish I knew more but...life and death obscure many details, don't they? Thanks for the great vid!
I live in Texas. I love history, and grew up hearing stories of Comanches, Texas Rangers, slavery in Texas and when Texas was under the control of Mexico. I love Texas. I love the history of Texas. I am a Tejana.
Native Americans tortured and killed their prisoners of war. They raped their female captives. They almost completely exterminated several races of Native Americans...yet when White colonist gave them a taste of their own medicine; they bitch and complain about how they were victims.
@@Jake-nk4wg yes, Quhana Parker on my my mother's side, Gen. Alexander Stephens /Sentor on my father's side. Alot of pride on both sides. I identify as Native American heritage.
The Comanches gained considerable power from their raids into Mexico. Northern Mexico became a virtual extension of Comancheria. Roaming nearly as far as Mexico City they gathered thousands of head of livestock, numerous horses, mules, and Mexican captives. They traded their bounty, including the captives to other tribes. The horses could be used by the tribes to resist the westward expansion of the US. White traders traded guns to Comanches.
The Comanche didn't control the entire plains. There's other tribes on the plains that were just as powerful, and brutal in times of war. There's the Lakota, Cheyenne, Blackfoot, Pawnee, and more.
@@iiatargetanalyst3046 I guess the guy who made the video, thinks that all Native Americans are the same. It's been over four hundred years, and some of them still haven't figured out. That Native Americans are divided into several different tribes, each with their unique culture and languages.
Thanks for sharing this background on the Comanche Nation. As a Texan I can tell you that a good amount of Texas history deals with the Comanche and Comancheria. Quanah Parker's mother Cynthia Ann was kidnapped by Comanches when she was about age 10. She resisted Anglo rescue and died in Birdville about 5 miles from where I live. The demise of the Comanche took place under the leadership of Ranald S MacKenzie during the Red River Wars US forces overran Comanche holdouts at Palo Duro Canyon.
Actually, the US Army did not 'overrun' the Comanches at Palo Dura Canyon. Rather they drove the out into the plains and then seized Comanche's horses , eventually killing over 1,000 of their horses, leaving them on foot. Survival in Palo Duro Canyon area on foot with very limited supplies, spelled doom for the Comanches and so they surrendered. Only three or four First Americans were killed at Palo Duro, and by some accounts these were Kiowa lookouts, killed by First Americans - Tonkawas , who were employed by the US Army. The US Army likely never fired a shot, other than at the horses. The history is available at the Palo Duro Canyon Visitor's Center Palo Duro Canyon State Park - State Hwy Park Rd 5, Canyon, TX 79015
While I understand the logistics of why Mckenzie had the horses slaughtered, it still gives me serious chills. The fear, panic and agony of the animals! A part of me hopes he suffered over this decision for many years.
How cool would it be if there was a Game of Thrones spin-off of America to show these amazing tribes of our country??? I’d LOVE to see these incredible people brought to our eyes. They’ve become spiritual icons, enigmas to modern citizens. Their culture deserves to be high lighted.
They cant. Then all those guilty white people would know that these tribes had war and murder and rape and slavery and all the other horrors we pretend only the white man did.
The Chichimeca/Zacateco we're the first steal horses from the Spanish to my understanding. The first to use them against them in war as well. The Chichimeca we're fierce warriors and the Zacatecos made up a large part of the group but the Zacatecos we're not as aggressive as the Chichimeca. Makes me wonder how the two tribes reacted to the Comanche 🧐
@@shawnk8802 if that’s true, it’s also true we should never have let you in, in the first place!

Never a truer word said....the white man only capitalized on your feudalistic system ....if you have a pretty wife, and you beat her, and mistreat ,her someone else is going to take her away from you ....if you cannot see the value in what you have it shall be taken away ....even if it's your way of life !!!!
Which tribe? I know there were many tribes in Northern Mexico but a lot of their history was lost, and almost all tribes that were here in the Southwest United States are still here, just less in numbers and territories are smaller. Is your ancestry from a Northern “Mexico” tribe or a Southwestern “United States” tribe? It makes me sad that so many tribes have been forgotten in Mexico. So much history and family roots lost. Would you happen to know your tribes name? I would love to hear of Native American tribes who were here before there was a border between colonized countries. Before New Spain, Mexico and the United States...
Quanah's mother was a member of my family. She never recovered from being "rescued". We have Cherokee ancestry but even tho Comanche were not bloodline relation I'm still proud of the connection.
An excellent book is Empire of the Summer Moon by S.C. Gwynne. (The rise and fall of the Comanches, the most powerful Indian tribe in American history.)

I’m reading the book abt the Comanche nation. I have the utmost respect for Native Americans. I’m ashamed of what our government did to them. And yes the history books are skewed to favor the govt. disgusting
I love my country, but the American govt. back then giving smallpox infected blankets to innocent Native American men, women, n children is not something we should be proud of!!! It was n is disgusting if True!!! From what I read at first they were defending themselves!!! I read Trail of Tears n other books, how SAD the way things went for them!!!
@@janedoe5456 There's a grain of truth but it's not what people have been led to believe. During Pontiac's War, several tribes launched a surprise attack and laid siege to Fort Pitt with Chief Pontiac vowing to massacre its inhabitants. Fort Pitt lacked the resources to hold out with little hope of outside help. So they met with Pontiac's ambassadors and offered them a couple of infected blankets as a gift. They thought a smallpox outbreak might break the siege. As it turns out, smallpox is primarily airborne and unlikely to be spread by contact with a blanket. The two ambassadors were encountered again years later and lacked the scarring common with smallpox. So the only known incident of giving smallpox blankets didn't even lead to an infection. But that hasn't stopped people with an agenda from claiming otherwise.
I’m aware, I’ve read the book. There’s a difference. We are born in a civilized society historically. We learn what is right and wrong and how to obey the laws that are made in order to ensure peace and civility. They were not. I do agree they were very violent - but that tribe also had no central authority nor did they live as the other tribes did. They didn’t farm, had no agriculture. They roamed all over having no ties to anywhere or anyone. I’m not making excuses but there are circumstances....
eastern worshipper well....basically they did a pretty good job of that; almost totally wiped out - and that includes the other tribes, some were totally wiped out .
As well as the Sioux/Lakota/Dakota and Cheyenne. It's rather an absurd lie to say the Comanches "ruled the entire plains", especially when you then show a map covering about 25% of the area of them.
You do realize that both the American and Canadian government's surrendered to the blackfoot nation but that part is always left out in the history books, we were known as the vikings of the plans.
That's way there were treaties that heavily favors indian side, but later terms were changed to favors government side.(I say governmentrather then white man because regular white man would more or less co exist with indians).. indian agents got rich off and there friends they had no interest in helping indians , which tribes were lefted with next to nonthing and residential schools came in to play by Andrew Jackson... but today all these treaties are being fought in court which will heavily favor indian side again and the fight for self goverance
@@noconaroubideaux9423 Comanche, the tribe signed a treaty with the Confederacy, and when the war ended they were forced to swear loyalty to the United States government at Fort Smith.

@@ThePhantom712 I’m not sure what time frame your talking about. I grew up in AZ and the Indians were able to go where they wanted. I know and maybe back when my dad was a kid that was still happening so glad that kind of mentality is no longer acceptable..
I'm a Lenape part of the Munsee-Deleware nation and although my tribe were known as the "grandfather's" of all the tribes, as we were extremely peaceful, loving and excellent negotiators some of the other tribes weren't as peaceful which breaks my heart. This isn't what the Chiefs would have wanted the Indian reservations today are so gross and there is lots of crime and drunks everywhere. Tribesmen deviating from their heritage is truly sad.
I agree. I feel like history told from its people is the purest form. I'm not a native at all but I know damn well history shows like to tell a tall tale story rather than the truth.
As an indigenous person I find it unsettling that people actually telling the history of a group of people from a seemingly factual standpoint would not have actual testimonial evidence backing up the subject matter. My opinion of course. Believe what you want. If I find myself curious about another tribe or culture I will go straight to the source and learn with respectful intensions.
As I've suggested to others in other clips about people of color; don't let this clip be the only source you use as fact and or just ignore it altogether or rebut it in every way possible. All are written, and white actors portraying, from a slanted point of view to make themselves look better no matter what dirt/damage/ethnic cleansing, etc. they've committed on people of color. Keep telling the truth sir not out of hate but correction.
All that happened then is only documented by the *"white man's"* point of view.. *History shows that America hides it's true history..* *Most* indigenous people didn't have a *written language* as well..
@@arlenemuhammad9853 Correct!!! We have created our own narrative, so, instead of using clips like the above as "gospel" maintain and publish our own. Keep the truth ever forward.. never wavering. Not all hate people of color and is easy to differentiate between those who hate and jealous of us and those who are not. Those who hate us are easily triggered with the truth.
You missed one big factor in their defeat, the introduction of the Colt revolver, and a change in tactics from single shot rifle fire on the ground, to mounted warfare using the short range revolver.
I agree. Apaches needed protection from nobody. It’s true that the Lipan Apache asked the Spanish to build a mission for them., but as the Lipan knew, the mission was on Comanche land and would start a war between the Spanish and the Comanche. The mission was built. The Comanche burned the mission and war between the two factions ensued. The only reason Geronimo was captured was because the Army used Apache scouts against him and Geronimo had few warriors.
chiricahua apache here, yeah this channel should study the apaches a bit more before making absurd claims, also id like to empathize the fact that the comanches were in fact the people who asked the Spanish for assistance lmao
How so? Most went there to get free land because the land in the US was expensive and too political. Almost like today's democrats, want everything for free. Only difference was it was owned by Spain and then Mexico. And they didn't like living under a monarchy. I mean, how dumb can you be? Your father, grandfather etc... fought two Wars, American Revolution and 1812 yet they wanted free land and went back to a dictatorship.
@@keithwilliams3935 It wasn't free if you had to settle it and work the land and often at the cost of your life. If you watched the above video you can see that the Comanche's were a special and ruthless fighting machine and menace. There were much easier places to settle in and get "free" land than in Texas when the Comanche's ruled the plains. BTW, Spain and Mexico didn't want any part of the Comanche's either.
The Comanche were powerful, for a short time. They were the greatest light cavalry in history. I would submit, however, the the Creeks were the most powerful in America, after the fall of the Mississippians. The Creek arose in the late 17th, early 18th centuries and pretty much held their own against Spanish, French, and British colonists and the Americans for over two centuries. While settlers were moving into Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Indiana, and Illinois, the Creeks were holding the Georgia boundary at the Ogeechee River, the boundary established in 1763. When the British demanded a large land cession from the Creek in 1773, they gave Georgia a large parcel of Cherokee land. So feared were the Creek that the Cherokee offered little objection. When most people think of Alabama in1840, a mere 20 years before the Civil War, visions of "Gone With the Wind" fill their minds. In reality, the Creek nation still controlled nearly 60% of the state. Full disclosure, my great-grandmother was full blood Siha Sipa Lakota. I also wrote "The Indians may be led, but will not be drove" The Creek Indians struggle for control of its own destiny, 1783-1794.
Who were "the greatest light cavalry in history" is disputable - at best. Did you ever see mongols riding (even today!) What Huns and Magyars were able to do during their nomadic age for many centuries - unlike the short time of indian horseriding would surprise you if checked too.
@@jeannerossow5210 I remember reading an articile some years ago about a clash between the two. I cannot remember where and have been trying to find it - unsuccessfully.

Have you seen the beautiful beadwork and regalia they wore plus their painted ponies? Now that's art!! Pre-contact Comanches broke off from the Shoshoni in Wyoming and the northern areas and became the Comanche of the southern plains. The Shoshoni created elaborate beadwork for their regalia, they were highly trained horse men who painted their groomed horses for show and they would charge at other tribes and stop right in front of them on a dime even to the calvary which was a way of welcome and not to mess with them message. The ancients were brave noble people.
Native Americans have been in every major conflict from 1900 on. They are a very important part of our military. Native Americans should be at the forefront of every conservation. While I do not discount other people Natives were here first. Support Native Americans whenever and wherever you can.

@@zanefogerty417 , not sure what you are getting at. The Spanish had been in Texas for 150 years before the Comanches arrived. Spain had to abandon several missions, such as Mission San Saba, where the Lipan Apache manipulated the Comanches and Spanish into a battle that ended with the Spanish retreating from the Hill Country. Afterwards, travel between Albuquerque and San Antonio required a very long detour.
@@et76039 Wrong and clueless on both statements. The San Saba missionaries did not consider rebuilding the mission because the region was too isolated and they couldn't make converts there. The Comanches were defeated by the Spanish after they attacked the mission; peace lasted a good 50 years before the Comanches began to displace other natives from their lands seeking better hunting grounds. Also, the comanches defeated and displaced some of the Apaches from a few regions but not all of them, the Apaches defeated the Comanches many times.
So, it's ok for the comanches to enter the plains, kill and run off all the people that were there already and then it is their land forever, but anyone that wants to live there too and has to fight to just cross it is wrong. Got it.

May I ask if you know the fact that the Second Amendment in the USA was historically put in place in the American Constitution, mainly to encourage slaughtering indigenous Native American people, in order to take over their homeland.
Moreover, the hidden mega genocide of indigenous Native Americans, and their population in Continents of America 500 yrs ago was around 15 millions, while European population in Europe was around 25 millions.
Today, Native Americans population is 15 million, while the European population, in the Continents of America + Europe, is a staggering 'TWO BILLION'!
For instance, 200 years ago here in the USA, around 3 million Germans came, and now there are 65 millions German-Americans; while 150 years ago, around 2 millions Irish came, and now there are 45 million Irish-Americans. While 500 years ago there were estimated to be 5 to 6 millions indigenous Native Americans in the USA, before Christopher Columbus arrived, today there are only around 2 million indigenous Native Americans survived.
Imagine this scenario, if Native American people cross the Atlantic, invade and Colonize Europe, and slaughter most Europeans, and put the remaining populations in tiny reservations, for 500 long years. How would Europeans feel about it? Think about it.
All they need is their beloved motherland back, the lands that their ancestors' forebears had lived through thick and thin, endured through hardships and all for generations.
Besides, indigenous Native Americans in Colonized lands of Anglo British, Spaniard and others are more of the same. Kill the indigenous Natives and whoever is left, marginalize them and create artificial poverty, once that poverty becomes crime and drinking, the media points to the poor and blames them to continue to stigmatize the 'other' community, scumbags, etc.
Amazing fact that Indigenous Natives had built such great civilizations as Mayan, Inca and Aztec without outside help, and all from scratch, and all on their own, since they had been cut off from the rest of the world for twenty thousand years. In other words, they actually are great and proud people.
Imagine what it would be like today if Native Americans had possessed some sort of nuclear weapons to defend themselves, and their beloved motherlands from invaders Colonizers? The answer is they would still have their own beloved motherlands, plus their population comparable to that of the European population.
In my humble opinion, it's about time to decolonize the Colonized lands, and return it to rightful owners Native American people. Remember, notorious global cardinal crimes the West has committed, and benefited a great deals, such as Slavery & Colonialism had long been over, why on earth is this another notorious Colonization still lingering on, may I ask? 🤔

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.
Right. I still don't get the offense of Washington Redskins. It was not an insult. Why would a team want to be called that if it was a term of disdain? I think it was mean t to conjure up an image of brave warriors who the other team would not want to mess with.

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 house.....
Wow that's actually a pretty cool story! What year approximately was this if you don't mind me asking?

For those wanting to learn more about the Comanche, I highly recommend the book ‘Empire of the Summer Moon’.
It was ok but not great.
I second that - very engrossing and informative.
Another excellent one is ‘Captured’ by Scott Zesch.
The best book i have ever read one of the main reasons the Texas rangers prevailed was the invention of the six shooter
I recommend this book "Comanches put the prisoner to work digging a hole, telling him they needed it for a religious ceremony. When the captive, using a knife and his hands, had completed digging a pit about five feet deep, they bound him with rope, placed him in it, filled the hole with dirt, packing it around his body and exposed head. They then scalped him and cut off his ears, nose, lips, and eyelids. Leaving him bleeding, they rode away, counting on the sun and insects to finish their work" for them. Later, back at their encampment, they told the story as an excellent joke, one which gained them a certain celebrity throughout the tribe.
I grew up with the stories of Quanah Parker and his mother and father and pictures of him hanging everywhere... Unfortunately I don't share blood with them but the man who raised me was their descendant and he was so very proud of his heritage...
The odds of being a direct descendant of someone that was alive in the 1900s arent very good. Go further back a few generations and the odds are better. Chances are you share a common ancestor with his mother within 10 generations back so him too. Youd be surprised.
I never get tired of looking at old photos of native Americans. To me they are the most beautiful of all ethnic groups, but that's just personal preference. I wonder what they would be doing now if Europeans had never found America. The wild west is iconic, the horses, war paint, headdresses, papooses, language, guns, cowboy hats and boots, everything about it is an amazing design and sensory sensation. But I find it curious that modern native Americans don't acknowledge that the Commanche actually did more harm to them, killing all men, than did the Europeans who at least created reservations.
@@joshuatraffanstedt2695 Quanah Parker died in 1911 and the man that raised me was born in 1937... he can trace the lineage...

Go look at census back then they changed the identities to Black (Freemen) we are the ones who didn’t go to the reservations.

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!
The Native Americans have always had a proud history of standing up to their enemies
They certainly deserve to be remembered.
And a sad history of losing eventually
Disease did more to weaken them than anything. That and bad luck The Iroquois confederation would probably have remained a British dependency had the British defeated the American rebels with continued ties down the Ohio Valley. If The British provided better support to Tecumseh during the War of 1812. . the Ohio country would have become part of Canada. But if Napoleon had not made his ill-fated venture into Russia , and British war with France would have last for years longer, the United States would have been punished worse, and maybe New England would have decided to rejoin British North America.
And their "enemies" were usually other "native Americans."
Like almost all other tribes the Comanche were peaceful by nature and warriors by necessity. This video is a perfect example of whitewashed history! The Comanche were peaceful hunter-gatherers. It is laughable to say that they became warriors simply because they got horses. This happened 100 years after the colonizers came. The colonizers spread disease, misinformation, war, and famine so tribes were confused and in chaos. That is at which point this guy is talking about. Not before the settlers came, not even during their first few years, but after 2 - 3 generations of enslavement, disease, famine, and war. Families were murdered and raped. Elders, babies, and women were slaughtered. Atrocities like this can change a people. If someone raped and murdered your entire family you just might do some awful things to them in return. Like almost all other tribes the Comanche were peaceful by nature and warriors by necessity.
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.
Oh shiiiit
Wow, didn't know that! Thanks for the knowledge!
How is that possible if one of the largest ports that Spain had was Cartagena, in the Caribbean?

@@Dallasjamma pls explain how
Of course it is. RUclips is not a lexicon.
Being from Texas, l highly recommend the reading of this book. The author gives in-depth history of the tribe and the going-ons throughout the years of dominance of the South Plains.
He also made the point of any interlopers caught out in the Comancharia being attacked to save a bullet for each man,woman and child. For ya didn't want to be taken alive.
One in the ol' brainpan was always better than being skinned alive and tortured beyond a hideous description.
And this narrator mispronounced the area The Comanche controlled. Co-mach-a-ria is how the syllables are broken down for properly pronouncing their domain.
It is a well written but inaccurate and very culturally biased propaganda.
Its criminal that to this day the descendants of these people are still treated as second class citizens in their own country.

The Comanche Empire
Book by Pekka Hämäläinen Another good read and in more detail than "Empire of the Summer Moon,"
Readable, accurate. However, Comanches ran other tribes off of “their” land. Tribes didn’t own “their mother”. Nor was the occupying of land commonly used by another “tribe” (either White or Indian) limited to only one. I have issues with ‘whites stole our land’ arguments. Tribes didn’t own land.

So?
The Comanches gained considerable power from their raids into Mexico. Northern Mexico became a virtual extension of Comancheria. Roaming nearly as far as Mexico City they gathered thousands of head of livestock, numerous horses, mules, and Mexican captives. They traded their bounty, including the captives to other tribes. The horses could be used by the tribes to resist the westward expansion of the US. White traders traded guns to Comanches.
The Comanche didn't control the entire plains. There's other tribes on the plains that were just as powerful, and brutal in times of war. There's the Lakota, Cheyenne, Blackfoot, Pawnee, and more.
Well put

You should be! I have such a Love and respect for our Native Americans.
Thanks for sharing this background on the Comanche Nation. As a Texan I can tell you that a good amount of Texas history deals with the Comanche and Comancheria. Quanah Parker's mother Cynthia Ann was kidnapped by Comanches when she was about age 10. She resisted Anglo rescue and died in Birdville about 5 miles from where I live. The demise of the Comanche took place under the leadership of Ranald S MacKenzie during the Red River Wars US forces overran Comanche holdouts at Palo Duro Canyon.
Actually, the US Army did not 'overrun' the Comanches at Palo Dura Canyon. Rather they drove the out into the plains and then seized Comanche's horses , eventually killing over 1,000 of their horses, leaving them on foot. Survival in Palo Duro Canyon area on foot with very limited supplies, spelled doom for the Comanches and so they surrendered.
Only three or four First Americans were killed at Palo Duro, and by some accounts these were Kiowa lookouts, killed by First Americans - Tonkawas , who were
employed by the US Army. The US Army likely never fired a shot, other than at the horses. The history is available at the Palo Duro Canyon Visitor's Center Palo Duro Canyon State Park
- State Hwy Park Rd 5, Canyon, TX 79015

I think there is actually a show called "frontier" that actually is based on the beaver wars.
A bit less romantic and considered the definitive source on Comanche (Numunu) is Comanches: The history of a people by T R Fehrenbach
Always Happy and proud to be part Cherokee , Sha kon O Hey.

AHOOO!!✊🏽 as a Comanche this is the history we needed to know more about growing up!!
Horsepower corrupts, absolutely.
This was a funny comment. :)
😂
Depends on how u use them.
We Polish certainly "corrupted" the Turkish with horsepower in 1683.
The Chichimeca/Zacateco we're the first steal horses from the Spanish to my understanding. The first to use them against them in war as well. The Chichimeca we're fierce warriors and the Zacatecos made up a large part of the group but the Zacatecos we're not as aggressive as the Chichimeca. Makes me wonder how the two tribes reacted to the Comanche 🧐
If we would have United, us American Indians, would never have been conquered!
It was part of the curses that they would have company in our lands! Times up for Esau!
You don't know what they have before you got hear!
Doubtful .... as history shows disease did more to thin the Indian population than any of the wars did.
@@shawnk8802 if that’s true, it’s also true we should never have let you in, in the first place!
It's well documented that the firstEuropeans who settled in the New World could not have made it through the first few winters without the assistance and knowledge of American Indians! I could go on and on but, I’ll stop here

My ppl still live on the border . We are many .We never left .
You pawns and your still false story telling
Which tribe? I know there were many tribes in Northern Mexico but a lot of their history was lost, and almost all tribes that were here in the Southwest United States are still here, just less in numbers and territories are smaller. Is your ancestry from a Northern “Mexico” tribe or a Southwestern “United States” tribe?
It makes me sad that so many tribes have been forgotten in Mexico.
So much history and family roots lost.
Would you happen to know your tribes name?
I would love to hear of Native American tribes who were here before there was a border between colonized countries. Before New Spain, Mexico and the United States...

I’m reading the book abt the Comanche nation. I have the utmost respect for Native Americans. I’m ashamed of what our government did to them. And yes the history books are skewed to favor the govt. disgusting
I love my country, but the American govt. back then giving smallpox infected blankets to innocent Native American men, women, n children is not something we should be proud of!!! It was n is disgusting if True!!! From what I read at first they were defending themselves!!! I read Trail of Tears n other books, how SAD the way things went for them!!!
@@janedoe5456 There's a grain of truth but it's not what people have been led to believe. During Pontiac's War, several tribes launched a surprise attack and laid siege to Fort Pitt with Chief Pontiac vowing to massacre its inhabitants. Fort Pitt lacked the resources to hold out with little hope of outside help. So they met with Pontiac's ambassadors and offered them a couple of infected blankets as a gift. They thought a smallpox outbreak might break the siege. As it turns out, smallpox is primarily airborne and unlikely to be spread by contact with a blanket. The two ambassadors were encountered again years later and lacked the scarring common with smallpox. So the only known incident of giving smallpox blankets didn't even lead to an infection. But that hasn't stopped people with an agenda from claiming otherwise.
You should read what the Comanche did to their captives.
I’m aware, I’ve read the book. There’s a difference. We are born in a civilized society historically. We learn what is right and wrong and how to obey the laws that are made in order to ensure peace and civility. They were not. I do agree they were very violent - but that tribe also had no central authority nor did they live as the other tribes did. They didn’t farm, had no agriculture. They roamed all over having no ties to anywhere or anyone. I’m not making excuses but there are circumstances....
eastern worshipper well....basically they did a pretty good job of that; almost totally wiped out - and that includes the other tribes, some were totally wiped out .
This is great, I was definitely born in the wrong time. Probably why we have so much passion to make history videos too.
I think my Apache friends would disagree about what you said about them.
As well as the Sioux/Lakota/Dakota and Cheyenne.
It's rather an absurd lie to say the Comanches "ruled the entire plains", especially when you then show a map covering about 25% of the area of them.
Friends, the victors usually write HIS-stories the way they want whether it is right or wrong. Not real history but HIS - stories.
@@Jake-nk4wg The winners always write THE history, The World over.

You do realize that both the American and Canadian government's surrendered to the blackfoot nation but that part is always left out in the history books, we were known as the vikings of the plans.
we might have lost a battle , but we won the war .
That's way there were treaties that heavily favors indian side, but later terms were changed to favors government side.(I say governmentrather then white man because regular white man would more or less co exist with indians).. indian agents got rich off and there friends they had no interest in helping indians , which tribes were lefted with next to nonthing and residential schools came in to play by Andrew Jackson... but today all these treaties are being fought in court which will heavily favor indian side again and the fight for self goverance

What is with everyone tossing around their quantums. Just say you're Native or have Native ancestory. lol
Congratulations. I am proud to be 100% Viking.
I'm a Lenape part of the Munsee-Deleware nation and although my tribe were known as the "grandfather's" of all the tribes, as we were extremely peaceful, loving and excellent negotiators some of the other tribes weren't as peaceful which breaks my heart. This isn't what the Chiefs would have wanted the Indian reservations today are so gross and there is lots of crime and drunks everywhere. Tribesmen deviating from their heritage is truly sad.
Were those tribes also among the tribes of the are which today is Washington-area (NoVa,Md,EasternShore)?
Very sad and disheartening
I'd rather hear this story from someone who's and actual descendent of the comanche nation. Indigenous people are not wiped out, like school books say
I agree. I feel like history told from its people is the purest form. I'm not a native at all but I know damn well history shows like to tell a tall tale story rather than the truth.
Meditation for visual
Well said
As an indigenous person I find it unsettling that people actually telling the history of a group of people from a seemingly factual standpoint would not have actual testimonial evidence backing up the subject matter. My opinion of course. Believe what you want. If I find myself curious about another tribe or culture I will go straight to the source and learn with respectful intensions.
right instead we get a white Euro aggrandization of being warlike smh
This video has a lot of half truths and fiction.
As I've suggested to others in other clips about people of color; don't let this clip be the only source you use as fact and or just ignore it altogether or rebut it in every way possible. All are written, and white actors portraying, from a slanted point of view to make themselves look better no matter what dirt/damage/ethnic cleansing, etc. they've committed on people of color.
Keep telling the truth sir not out of hate but correction.
All that happened then is only documented by the *"white man's"* point of view..
*History shows that America hides it's true history..*
*Most* indigenous people didn't have a *written language* as well..
That's the way it usually is if you don't get to tell your own story.
Sounds like the BLM members--all-BS.
@@arlenemuhammad9853
Correct!!! We have created our own narrative, so, instead of using clips like the above as "gospel" maintain and publish our own. Keep the truth ever forward.. never wavering. Not all hate people of color and is easy to differentiate between those who hate and jealous of us and those who are not. Those who hate us are easily triggered with the truth.

You missed one big factor in their defeat, the introduction of the Colt revolver, and a change in tactics from single shot rifle fire on the ground, to mounted warfare using the short range revolver.
Now I wish Connor interacted with these people in AC3. Would be so cool.
Geronimo with a motley band of warriors seriously mocked the U S army for years .
Begged the Spanish for protection ?...
I find that hard to believe.
Yeah he hated and Fought them.For what they did to his family.
I agree. Apaches needed protection from nobody. It’s true that the Lipan Apache asked the Spanish to build a mission for them., but as the Lipan knew, the mission was on Comanche land and would start a war between the Spanish and the Comanche. The mission was built. The Comanche burned the mission and war between the two factions ensued.
The only reason Geronimo was captured was because the Army used Apache scouts against him and Geronimo had few warriors.
The way us white skins conquered the native Americans is because of smallpox...
@@paulrizo5469 He surrendered actually

It took a special kind of person to settle in Texas in the 1800's. It makes it easier to understand the uniqueness of Texas history.
How so? Most went there to get free land because the land in the US was expensive and too political. Almost like today's democrats, want everything for free. Only difference was it was owned by Spain and then Mexico.
And they didn't like living under a monarchy. I mean, how dumb can you be? Your father, grandfather etc... fought two Wars, American Revolution and 1812 yet they wanted free land and went back to a dictatorship.
@@keithwilliams3935 It wasn't free if you had to settle it and work the land and often at the cost of your life. If you watched the above video you can see that the Comanche's were a special and ruthless fighting machine and menace. There were much easier places to settle in and get "free" land than in Texas when the Comanche's ruled the plains. BTW, Spain and Mexico didn't want any part of the Comanche's either.

Hi Nancy
Nancy McGee it's always good to speak out what you know is right from your own prospective..how are you doing? Hope you're fine and staying safe??
The Comanche were powerful, for a short time. They were the greatest light cavalry in history. I would submit, however, the the Creeks were the most powerful in America, after the fall of the Mississippians. The Creek arose in the late 17th, early 18th centuries and pretty much held their own against Spanish, French, and British colonists and the Americans for over two centuries. While settlers were moving into Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Indiana, and Illinois, the Creeks were holding the Georgia boundary at the Ogeechee River, the boundary established in 1763. When the British demanded a large land cession from the Creek in 1773, they gave Georgia a large parcel of Cherokee land. So feared were the Creek that the Cherokee offered little objection. When most people think of Alabama in1840, a mere 20 years before the Civil War, visions of "Gone With the Wind" fill their minds. In reality, the Creek nation still controlled nearly 60% of the state. Full disclosure, my great-grandmother was full blood Siha Sipa Lakota. I also wrote "The Indians may be led, but will not be drove" The Creek Indians struggle for control of its own destiny, 1783-1794.
'They were the greatest light cavalry in history.' Oh really ? I suspect the Mongols would have given them a good run.
Who were "the greatest light cavalry in history" is disputable - at best. Did you ever see mongols riding (even today!) What Huns and Magyars were able to do during their nomadic age for many centuries - unlike the short time of indian horseriding would surprise you if checked too.
The Sioux were rampant and mighty, but yet beaten by the most formidable Apache!

However I am time restricted but will continue searching. Until then will concede I am wrong and retract the comment. Both are great nations.
I find it very difficult to believe that the Comanche, pre-Contact, had no art...
Have you seen the beautiful beadwork and regalia they wore plus their painted ponies? Now that's art!! Pre-contact Comanches broke off from the Shoshoni in Wyoming and the northern areas and became the Comanche of the southern plains. The Shoshoni created elaborate beadwork for their regalia, they were highly trained horse men who painted their groomed horses for show and they would charge at other tribes and stop right in front of them on a dime even to the calvary which was a way of welcome and not to mess with them message. The ancients were brave noble people.
@@breakthroughnow7841 And they were very creative. I have seen several wonderful displays of beadwork, both older and modern.

Native Americans have been in every major conflict from 1900 on. They are a very important part of our military. Native Americans should be at the forefront of every conservation. While I do not discount other people Natives were here first. Support Native Americans whenever and wherever you can.

The Comanche Nation pushed the Apaches across, and West of the Pecos River, and kept them there.
To simultaneously defeat both the Spanish and the Apaches was phenomenal.
@@et76039 Hmmmm..I wonder then how the Spanish flourished while the Comanche wound up where?
@@zanefogerty417 commonwealth...duh. No muscle...just their wallets
@@zanefogerty417 , not sure what you are getting at. The Spanish had been in Texas for 150 years before the Comanches arrived. Spain had to abandon several missions, such as Mission San Saba, where the Lipan Apache manipulated the Comanches and Spanish into a battle that ended with the Spanish retreating from the Hill Country. Afterwards, travel between Albuquerque and San Antonio required a very long detour.
@@et76039 Wrong and clueless on both statements. The San Saba missionaries did not consider rebuilding the mission because the region was too isolated and they couldn't make converts there. The Comanches were defeated by the Spanish after they attacked the mission; peace lasted a good 50 years before the Comanches began to displace other natives from their lands seeking better hunting grounds. Also, the comanches defeated and displaced some of the Apaches from a few regions but not all of them, the Apaches defeated the Comanches many times.
Comanche / kiowa great warriors. Sad what our Gov, eventually does to everyone. Now they own the land😒. Dont seem even close to right👍 nice vid
