Given all that stuff PNG endures - I find this a bit surprising. They are the Comanche Indians, Comanche,TX

Hmm, there was supposed to be a link to the story. Not sure if it works.

 

[1970]

I've always thought that PNG would be better served, or perhaps "connected" (for lack of a better word) to the Comanche, relative to SE Texas, rather than Cherokee. The Comanche were hostile and pretty brutal, and it's a bit ironic for current Comanche to worry about the "scalp 'em" rhetoric. But I can understand ALL Native Americans flinching at any glorification of the word "reservation".

I like the story about the small group of Comanche, after they'd been relegated to their reservation, they approached the rancher Charles Goodnight, (they called him Buenos Noches), and asked him for a buffalo. Goodnight raised and kept a small herd of bison, and finally let them have one. The Comanche group turned the buffalo loose, then ran it down on horseback and killed it with bow and arrow, then sat around the carcass for a while, perhaps eating the fresh liver and maybe the tongue, then mounted their horses and rode off, leaving the entire dead bison laying there.

The American Indian gentleman who attended the playoff game at Reliant last year in a show of solidarity with PN-G was Comanche. He wore the Comanche flag across his back.
