When did the Comanche live?

Answer 1

The Comanche were Plain Indians that lived within an area that was known as Comancheria. This area was located in what is now known as the eastern area of New Mexico, southeastern Colorado, western Oklahoma, southwestern Kansas, and the majority of northwest Texas. The Comanche tribe was formed in 1680 when they broke away from the Shoshone tribe. They are still in existence today.

Answer 2

Comanche lived in parts of New Mexico, Colorado, Oklahoma, and Texas. However, there are now large reservations in Oklahoma and small ones in Texas.
In the 19th century Comanche roamed New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, and Colorado. Currently, reservations exist in Texas and Oklahoma.

Answer 3

The problem with native American history is that it only became history when it was written about by early European explorers; before that we have no record of what happened or when. We can only guess at the movements and locations of the tribes before first contact with Europeans.

The various tribes of the Shoshonean language group (Utes, Snakes, Shoshones and others) were probably located in the Great Basin and Plateau regions west of the Rocky Mountains during the prehistoric period - the same area later occupied by the Nez Perce, Umatillas and others.

The Paiutes remained in Nevada and eastern Oregon while the Ute, Shoshone and Snakes moved eastwards and southwards; the Comanches separated from the Shoshones and moved further southwards to their historic locations - the date this happened can never be known, but the marked differences in what had been the same language indicates it was probably long before explorers arrived.

So the answer is that Comanches became a separate tribe some time before the first explorers arrived and they still exist today.
