Why did the Comanches go to a reservation?
The Comanches were forced onto a reservation primarily due to the pressures of westward expansion by European American settlers and the U.S. government's policies aimed at assimilating Native American tribes. As settlers encroached on their hunting grounds in Texas and surrounding areas, the Comanches faced increasing military conflict and loss of resources, which undermined their traditional way of life. In the late 19th century, the U.S. government sought to control and contain Native American populations, leading to the establishment of reservations as a means to manage and reduce conflicts. Ultimately, this resulted in the Comanches being confined to a reservation in Oklahoma.

Yes and no. When the Spanish arrived in the new world they brought with them Catholic priests to convert the natives and they forced them to convert.

Children were removed from families and placed in government schools. Once there they were not allowed to speak their native language, dress in native dress, nor practice tribal ways. Boys were forced to have their hair cut and when a boy's hair was cut it meant that a parent had died. Many Native Americans hid their traditions and would practice them when they were alone. Many cultures have done this to preserve their culture and to teach the young.
