Reservation life has significantly impacted the Comanches by altering their traditional way of life and cultural practices. With limited access to their ancestral lands, many Comanche people have faced economic challenges and a loss of self-sufficiency, relying more on government aid. Additionally, the shift to a sedentary lifestyle has affected their community structures and social dynamics, leading to struggles in preserving their cultural identity and traditions. Despite these challenges, many Comanches work to revitalize their heritage and maintain their cultural practices within the constraints of reservation life.
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.
Well I'm pretty sure they WERE nomadic because they lived in tepees and herded wild horses. But now they live in a reservation in Oklahoma so there's no way for them to be nomadic anymore. Also, they learned to farm...

Yes, the Comanches, like a good majority of American Indians had horses.
The Spanish brought horses to the Comanche, effectively bringing the tribe into a lifestyle revolving around the buffalo hunt. Horses also brought the Comanche wealth, as they were used in both the hunt and in raids.
no they were not
I live in Asheville NC. There is a great concentration of Comanches in Oklahoma and Texas.
The Kiowa people lived in and around the Texas Panhandle. The Comanches and the Kiowas were good friends. when the Kiowas came, they made friends with the Comanches and the Comanches let them live on their land.
Yes they did. But comanches won most of thd times due to being ruthless
