	Quanah Parker - The History of the Great Comanche War Chief
		Quanah's Grandfather was none other than the fearless Iron Jacket who was famous for wearing a Spanish Coat of Mail into battle, and it was believed by the Comanche that he possessed such strong medicine or Puha that he had the power to blow away approaching missles with his breath.
		Quanah emerged from this as a great war chief, in which many tribes and great leaders gave him respect, and charge over their warriors, he was a capable and trustworthy leader, and most any warrior would have been proud to go to war with him.
		Quanah made several trips to Washington DC to parly for the peoples land, but the government decided to open the reservation to settlers, and many tribes were affected by this Great Land Rush, as it has become known.

	Quanah Parker
		Quanah, meaning "fragrant," was born about 1850, son of Comanche Chief Peta Nocona and Cynthia Ann Parker, a white girl taken captive during the 1836 raid on Parker's Fort, Texas.
		Quanah and the Quahada Comanche, of whom his father, Peta Nocona had been chief, refused to accept the provisions of the 1867 Treaty of Medicine Lodge, which confined the southern Plains Indians to a reservation, promising to clothe the Indians and turn them into farmers in imitation of the white settlers.
		Quanah Parker died on February 23, 1911, and was buried next to his mother, whose body he had reinterred at Ft. Sill Military cemetery on Chiefs Knoll in Oklahoma only three months earlier.

	Quanah Parker: Last Chief of the Comanches
		Quanah was born during the late 1840s, the son of Peta Nocona, chief of the Quohada Comanches, and Cynthia Ann Parker, a white woman who had been taken captive, along with her brother John, by the Comanches during a raid on Fort Parker, Texas, in 1836.
		Quanah had gone into East Texas to search for his mother and sister among her white relatives--it was at that time that he began using her last name as his own--and learned that they had both died.
		Quanah's new medicine was recognized by many as a powerful aid, but among the missionaries, who were driven to convert the "pagan" Indians to Christianity, and the military, whose aim was to divest the Indians of their tribal identity, it was seen as a dangerous weapon.
