Comanche

The Comanche were a Native American tribe originally from the Great Plains, particularly in areas that are now part of Texas, New Mexico, and Oklahoma. They were known for their exceptional horse culture, becoming skilled equestrians after acquiring horses in the 17th century. The Comanche excelled at hunting, particularly buffalo, and were formidable warriors. Their social structure was tribal, with a strong emphasis on community and leadership. Historically, they engaged in trade and conflicts with other tribes and European settlers, significantly influencing the history of the American West until their eventual decline in the late 19th century.
