˜Comanche Culture and History –

As a complement to our Comanche language information, here is our collection of indexed links about the Comanche tribe and their society. Please note that Comanches and other American Indians are living people with a present and a future as well as a past. Comanche history is interesting and important, but the Comanche Indians are still here today, too, and we try to feature modern writers as well as traditional folklore, contemporary art as well as museum pieces, and issues and struggles of today as well as the tragedies of yesterday. Please contact us if you have an Comanche link to add.
