In the mid 1800's The Comanches were called "The Lords of the Southern Plain." The Comanche's called themselves "Numunus" or, "the people." We were a ferocious tribe known for warring with Mexicans and other tribes. Comanche's masterful horse skills were said to be nearly magical. Although we were one of the last tribes to sign treaties with the United States, Comanche leaders like Quannah Parker urged tribal members to become educated and take advantage of the various benefits that this new culture had imposed. Today, the Comanche Nation headquarters is in Lawton OK. Very successful casinos have provided much needed revenue for the nearly 15,000, mostly local tribal members.
