  1. THE COMANCHES Abhi the lords of the Southern plains BY: Marsden, Gus, Abhi, and Coleman

  2. Comanche Indians Comanche groups did not have a single acknowledged leader (Crystal). Instead, a small number of generally recognized leaders acted as counsel and advisors to the group as a whole (Crystal). These included the peace chief, the members of the council, and the war chief (Crystal). Gus

  3. Who was the chief? The chief’s name was Quanah Parker(Crystal,2006). He was born in 1845 and lived for 65 years and died in 1911 (Crystal). Abhi

  4. What were the customs? When a young man was sent away from his tribe with a few things to await his visions(Crystal,2006) The visions were to show him the direction of life and to reveal symbols, he waited 4 days(Crystal,2006). Now nobody is able to reveal the direction of life unless given permission(Crystal,2006) Now people go to find out there direction of life (Crystal). Abhi
