“ISIS is attacking and taking over territory, the Indians were defending their home, in my eyes that is a big difference.”
Yeah I guess that explains the Comanche penchant for raiding and massacring settlements outside their territory and for kidnapping women. The Mexicans and Texans of that era would marvel at the nonsense that modern Americans now believe.
The Comanche had as flexible an idea of “their territory” as any other expanding power. They began in Wyoming and proceeded to conquer and attack any and all around them, whether Indian, Mexican, Texan or American. They weren’t particular, just violent and tough.
Comancheria became a sizeable empire until they ran into someone tougher than the hapless Mexicans and Indians that they had been preying upon, the Texas Rangers and the Second US Cavalry. But all good things must come to an end, and Comancheria bit the dust around 1875.

I remember reading that the biggest battle in North America prior to the Civil War was in Montana where the Crow and I think the Sioux fought it out.
They were hard people living in a hard world.
Also, they are Chinese. That’s why they are changing everything from “Native American” to “First People”.
There should be no “Sovereign Nation” Reservations within the borders of The United States.
