As the last band to move onto the Plains, they retained much of their Eastern Shoshone tradition. </p><p>The power and success of the Comanche attracted bands of neighboring peoples who joined them and became part of Comanche society; an Arapaho group became known as Saria Tʉhka (Chariticas, Sata Teichas – 'Dog Eaters') band, an Eastern Shoshone group as Pohoi (Pohoee – 'wild sage') band, and a Plains Apache group as Tasipenanʉʉ band. </p><p>The Texans and Americans divided the Comanche into five large dominant bands – the <b>Yaparʉhka (Yamparika)</b>, <b>Kʉhtsʉtʉhka (Kotsoteka)</b>, <b>Nokoni Nʉʉ (Nokoni)</b>, <b>Penatʉka Nʉʉ (Penateka)</b> and <b>Kwaarʉ Nʉʉ (Kwahadi, Quohada)</b>, which in turn were divided by geographical terms into first three (later four) regional groupings: Northern Comanche, Middle Comanche, Southern Comanche, Eastern Comanche, and later Western Comanche. However, these terms generally do not correspond to the Native language terms. </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:DodgeComancheEmissary.png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/14/DodgeComancheEmissary.png/220px-DodgeComancheEmissary.png" decoding="async" width="220" height="160" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/14/DodgeComancheEmissary.png/330px-DodgeComancheEmissary.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/14/DodgeComancheEmissary.png/440px-DodgeComancheEmissary.png 2x" data-file-width="1690" data-file-height="1226" /></a><figcaption>Comanches <a href="/wiki/First_Dragoon_Expedition" title="First Dragoon Expedition">meeting the U.S. dragoons</a> near the <a href="/wiki/Wichita_Mountains" title="Wichita Mountains">Wichita Mountains</a> in 1834, by George Catlin</figcaption></figure> <p>The <b>"Northern Comanche"</b> label encompassed the Yaparʉhka (Yamparika) between the Arkansas River and Canadian River and the prominent and powerful Kʉhtsʉtʉhka (Kotsoteka) who roamed the high plains of Oklahoma and Texas Panhandles between Red and Canadian River, the famous Palo Duro Canyon offered them and their horse herds of protection from strong winter storms as well as from enemies, because the two bands dominated and ranged in the northern Comancheria. </p><p>The <b>"Middle Comanche"</b> label encompassed the aggressive Nokoni Nʉʉ (Nokoni) ("wanderers", "those who turn back") between the headwaters of the Red River and the Colorado River in the south and the Western Cross Timbers in the east, their preferred range were on the Brazos River headwaters and its tributaries, the Pease River offered protection from storms and enemies. With them shared two smaller bands the same tribal areas: the Tahnahwah (Tenawa, Tenahwit) ("Those Living Downstream") and Tanimʉʉ (Tanima, Dahaʉi, Tevawish) ("Liver Eaters").

They lived on the hot, low-shadow desert plateaus of Llano Estacado in eastern New Mexico and found shelter in Tule Canyon and Palo Duro Canyon in northwestern Texas. They were the only band that never signed a contract with the Texans or Americans, and they were the last to give up the resistance. Because of their relative isolation from the other bands on the westernmost edge of the Comancheria, they were called the "Western Comanche". </p><p>There has been, and continues to be, much confusion in the presentation of Comanche group names. Groups on all levels of organization, families, nʉmʉnahkahni, bands, and divisions, were given names, but many 'band lists' do not distinguish these levels.

Later, they acquired horses from other tribes, such as the Pueblo, and from the Spaniards. Because horses are faster, easier to control and stronger, this helped with hunting, warfare and moving camp. Larger dwellings were made due to the ability to pull and carry more belongings. Being herbivores, horses were also easier to feed than dogs, since meat was a valuable resource.<sup id="cite_ref-59" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-59"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>59<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The horse was of the utmost value to the Comanche. A Comanche man's wealth was measured by the size of his horse herd. Horses were prime targets to steal during raids; often raids were conducted specifically to capture horses. Often horse herds numbering in the hundreds were stolen by Comanche during raids against other Indian nations, Spanish, Mexicans, and later from the ranches of Texans. Horses were used for warfare with the Comanche being considered to be among the finest light cavalry and mounted warriors in history.<sup id="cite_ref-60" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-60"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>60<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Comanche_Feats_of_Horsemanship-George_Catlin.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b4/Comanche_Feats_of_Horsemanship-George_Catlin.jpg/220px-Comanche_Feats_of_Horsemanship-George_Catlin.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="182" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b4/Comanche_Feats_of_Horsemanship-George_Catlin.jpg/330px-Comanche_Feats_of_Horsemanship-George_Catlin.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b4/Comanche_Feats_of_Horsemanship-George_Catlin.jpg/440px-Comanche_Feats_of_Horsemanship-George_Catlin.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1400" data-file-height="1155" /></a><figcaption><i>Comanche Feats of Horsemenship</i>, <a href="/wiki/George_Catlin" title="George Catlin">George Catlin</a> 1834</figcaption></figure> <p>The Comanche covered their tipis with buffalo hides sewn together. To prepare the hides, women spread them on the ground, scraped off the fat and flesh with blades of bone or antler, and dried them in the sun. Then the women scraped off the thick hair and soaked the hides in water. After several days, they vigorously rubbed them in a mixture of fat, brains and liver to soften them. They softened them further by rinsing and working back and forth over a rawhide thong. Finally, they were smoked over a fire, which gave them a tan color. To finish the tipi covering, women laid the tanned hides side by side and stitched them together. As many as 22 hides could be used, but 14 was the average. The sewn cover was tied to a pole and raised, wrapped around the cone-shaped frame, and pinned with pencil-sized wooden skewers. Two wing-shaped flaps at the top of the tipi were turned back to make an opening, which could be adjusted to keep out moisture and held pockets of insulating air. With a fire pit in the center of the earthen floor, the tipis stayed warm in winter. In summer, the bottom edges of the tipis could be rolled up to let in a breeze. Cooking was done outside during hot weather. Tipis were very practical homes for nomads. Working together, women could quickly set them up or take them down. An entire Comanche band could be packed and chasing a buffalo herd within about 20 minutes. The women did most food processing and preparation.<sup id="cite_ref-61" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-61"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>61<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Food">Food</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Comanche&action=edit&section=21" title="Edit section: Food"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1251242444">.mw-parser-output .ambox{border:1px solid #a2a9b1;border-left:10px solid #36c;background-color:#fbfbfb;box-sizing:border-box}.mw-parser-output .ambox+link+.ambox,.mw-parser-output .ambox+link+style+.ambox,.mw-parser-output .ambox+link+link+.ambox,.mw-parser-output .ambox+.mw-empty-elt+link+.ambox,.mw-parser-output .ambox+.mw-empty-elt+link+style+.ambox,.mw-parser-output .ambox+.mw-empty-elt+link+link+.ambox{margin-top:-1px}html body.mediawiki .mw-parser-output .ambox.mbox-small-left{margin:4px 1em 4px 0;overflow:hidden;width:238px;border-collapse:collapse;font-size:88%;line-height:1.25em}.mw-parser-output .ambox-speedy{border-left:10px solid #b32424;background-color:#fee7e6}.mw-parser-output .ambox-delete{border-left:10px solid #b32424}.mw-parser-output .ambox-content{border-left:10px solid #f28500}.mw-parser-output .ambox-style{border-left:10px solid #fc3}.mw-parser-output .ambox-move{border-left:10px solid #9932cc}.mw-parser-output .ambox-protection{border-left:10px solid #a2a9b1}.mw-parser-output .ambox .mbox-text{border:none;padding:0.25em 0.5em;width:100%}.mw-parser-output .ambox .mbox-image{border:none;padding:2px 0 2px 0.5em;text-align:center}.mw-parser-output .ambox .mbox-imageright{border:none;padding:2px 0.5em 2px 0;text-align:center}.mw-parser-output .ambox .mbox-empty-cell{border:none;padding:0;width:1px}.mw-parser-output .ambox .mbox-image-div{width:52px}@media(min-width:720px){.mw-parser-output .ambox{margin:0 10%}}@media print{body.ns-0 .mw-parser-output .ambox{display:none!important}}</style><table class="box-More_citations_needed_section plainlinks metadata ambox ambox-content ambox-Refimprove" role="presentation"><tbody><tr><td class="mbox-image"><div class="mbox-image-div"><span typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:Question_book-new.svg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/99/Question_book-new.svg/50px-Question_book-new.svg.png" decoding="async" width="50" height="39" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/99/Question_book-new.svg/75px-Question_book-new.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/99/Question_book-new.svg/100px-Question_book-new.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="512" data-file-height="399" /></a></span></div></td><td class="mbox-text"><div class="mbox-text-span">This section <b>needs additional citations for <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Verifiability" title="Wikipedia:Verifiability">verification</a></b>.<span class="hide-when-compact"> Please help <a href="/wiki/Special:EditPage/Comanche" title="Special:EditPage/Comanche">improve this article</a> by <a href="/wiki/Help:Referencing_for_beginners" title="Help:Referencing for beginners">adding citations to reliable sources</a> in this section.

When they lived in the <a href="/wiki/Rocky_Mountains" title="Rocky Mountains">Rocky Mountains</a>, during their migration to the Great Plains, both men and women shared responsibility for gathering and providing food. When the Comanche reached the plains, hunting predominated. Hunting was considered a male activity and was a principal source of prestige.

When game was scarce, the men hunted wild mustangs, and sometimes ate their own ponies. In later years the Comanche raided Texas ranches and stole longhorn cattle. They did not eat fish or fowl, unless starving. </p><p>Women prepared and cooked bison meat and other game. Women also gathered wild fruits, seeds, nuts, berries, roots and tubers, including <a href="/wiki/Plum" title="Plum">plums</a>, <a href="/wiki/Grape" title="Grape">grapes</a>, <a href="/wiki/Juniper" title="Juniper">juniper</a> berries, <a href="/wiki/Persimmon" title="Persimmon">persimmons</a>, <a href="/wiki/Mulberry" class="mw-redirect" title="Mulberry">mulberries</a>, <a href="/wiki/Acorn" title="Acorn">acorns</a>, <a href="/wiki/Pecan" title="Pecan">pecans</a>, wild <a href="/wiki/Onion" title="Onion">onions</a>, <a href="/wiki/Radish" title="Radish">radishes</a>, and tuna, the fruit of the <a href="/wiki/Prickly_pear_cactus" class="mw-redirect" title="Prickly pear cactus">prickly pear cactus</a>.

They roasted meat over a fire or boiled it. To boil fresh or dried meat and vegetables, women dug a pit in the ground, which they lined with animal skins or bison stomach and filled with water to make a kind of cooking pot. They placed heated stones in the water until it boiled and had cooked their stew. After Spanish contact, Comanche traded for copper pots and iron kettles, which made cooking easier. </p><p>Women used berries and nuts, as well as honey and <a href="/wiki/Tallow" title="Tallow">tallow</a>, to flavor bison meat. They stored the tallow in intestine casings or rawhide pouches called <i>oyóotû¿</i>. They especially liked to make a sweet mush of bison marrow mixed with crushed mesquite beans. </p><p>The Comanches sometimes ate raw meat, especially raw liver flavored with <a href="/wiki/Bile" title="Bile">gall</a>.

Men wore a leather belt with a breechcloth — a long piece of buckskin brought up between the legs and looped over and under the belt at the front and back, and loose-fitting deerskin leggings. <a href="/wiki/Moccasins" class="mw-redirect" title="Moccasins">Moccasins</a> had soles made from thick, tough buffalo hide with soft deerskin uppers. Men wore nothing on the upper body, except in winter when they wore heavy robes of buffalo hide (or occasionally, <a href="/wiki/American_black_bear" title="American black bear">bear</a>, <a href="/wiki/Wolf" title="Wolf">wolf</a>, or <a href="/wiki/Coyote" title="Coyote">coyote</a> skins) with knee-length buffalo-hide boots. Young boys usually went naked except in cold weather. By age 8 or 9, they wore adult clothing. In the 19th century, men had replaced the buckskin breechcloths by woven cloth, and wore loose-fitting buckskin shirts. Women wore long deerskin dresses with a flared skirt and wide, long sleeves, with buckskin fringes on the sleeves and hem. Beads and pieces of metal were attached in geometric patterns. Women wore buckskin moccasins with buffalo soles. Women decorated their shirts, leggings and moccasins with fringes of deer-skin, animal fur, and human hair. They also decorated their shirts and leggings with patterns and shapes of beads and scraps of material. In winter they, too, wore warm buffalo robes and tall, fur-lined buffalo-hide boots. Unlike boys, girls old enough to walk were dressed in breechcloths. By age 12 or 13, they wore women's clothing.<sup id="cite_ref-63" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-63"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>63<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Hair_and_headgear">Hair and headgear</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Comanche&action=edit&section=23" title="Edit section: Hair and headgear"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Comanche people took pride in their hair, which was worn long. They arranged it with <a href="/wiki/Porcupine" title="Porcupine">porcupine</a> quill brushes, greased it and parted it in the center from the forehead to the back of the neck. They painted the scalp along the parting with yellow, red, or white clay (or other colors). They wore their hair in two long braids tied with leather thongs or colored cloth, and sometimes wrapped with <a href="/wiki/Beaver" title="Beaver">beaver</a> fur. They also braided a strand of hair from the top of their head. This slender braid, called a scalp lock, was decorated with colored scraps of cloth and beads, and a single feather. Comanche men rarely wore anything on their heads. Only after they moved onto a reservation late in the 19th century did men begin to wear the typical Plains <a href="/wiki/Headdress" class="mw-redirect" title="Headdress">headdress</a>. In severe cold, they might wear a brimless, woolly buffalo hide hat. At war, some warriors wore a headdress of buffalo scalp. Warriors cut away most of the hide and flesh from a buffalo head, leaving only a portion of the woolly head and the horns. This type of hat was worn only by the Comanche. Women did not let their hair grow as long as the men did. Young women might wear their hair long and braided, but women parted their hair in the middle and kept it short. Like the men, they painted their scalp along the parting with bright paint.<sup id="cite_ref-64" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-64"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>64<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Body_decoration">Body decoration</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Comanche&action=edit&section=24" title="Edit section: Body decoration"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Comanche men usually had <a href="/wiki/Pierced_ears" class="mw-redirect" title="Pierced ears">pierced ears</a> with hanging earrings made of pieces of shell or loops of brass or silver wire.

The men also <a href="/wiki/Tattoo" title="Tattoo">tattooed</a> his face, arms, and chest with geometric designs, and painted his face and body. Traditionally they used paints made of berry juice and the colored clays of the Comancheria. Later, traders supplied them with vermilion (red pigment) and bright grease paints. Men wore bands of leather and strips of metal on their arms. Except for black, which was the color for war, there was no standard color or pattern for face and body painting: it was a matter of individual preference. For example, one man might paint one side of his face white and the other side red; another might paint one side of his body green and the other side with green and black stripes. One Comanche might always paint himself in a particular way, while another might change the colors and designs when so inclined. Some designs had special meaning to the individual, and special colors and designs might have been revealed in a dream. Women might also tattoo their face or arms. They were fond of painting their bodies and were free to do so as they pleased. It was popular for women to paint the insides of their ears a bright red and paint great orange and red circles on their cheeks. They usually painted red and yellow around their lips.<sup id="cite_ref-65" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-65"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>65<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Comanche_ration_bag_1880_OHS.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/58/Comanche_ration_bag_1880_OHS.jpg/170px-Comanche_ration_bag_1880_OHS.jpg" decoding="async" width="170" height="298" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/58/Comanche_ration_bag_1880_OHS.jpg/255px-Comanche_ration_bag_1880_OHS.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/58/Comanche_ration_bag_1880_OHS.jpg 2x" data-file-width="329" data-file-height="576" /></a><figcaption>Comanche beaded ration bag, c. 1880, collection of the <a href="/wiki/Oklahoma_History_Center" title="Oklahoma History Center">Oklahoma History Center</a></figcaption></figure> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Art_and_material_culture">Art and material culture</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Comanche&action=edit&section=25" title="Edit section: Art and material culture"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Because of their frequent nomadic traveling, Comanche had to make sure that their household goods and other possessions were unbreakable. They did not use pottery that could easily be broken on long journeys. Weaving, wood carving, and metal working were unknown. Instead, they depended on buffalo for most of their tools, household goods, and weapons. They made nearly 200 different utilitarian items from the horns, hide, and bones. </p><p>Removing the lining of the inner stomach, women made the paunch into a water bag.

The thick neck skin of an old bull was ideal for war shields that deflected arrows as well as bullets.
