I just finished a book about the Comanches.
Anyone who has thoughts of the Native Americans as peaceful, humble, servants of the earth needs to read up on that Tribe.
One passage in the book recalled what other tribes called them. One tribe in New Mexico had a word for them that meant, “They don’t get along with ANYONE!”
Your ancestor is Lucky to have made it out of that tribe alive.
Empire of the Summer Moon? Great book
