Comanches
by Hannah D.
Overview
The Comanches lived in the Southern plains . They were fierce warriors they hunted buffalo
On horse back .
When they went into war the took people's head and scalped them by cutting off all of your hair and leaving the brain the Comanches were the ones to scare other tribes during war .
Culture
For Culture they use bright face paint and the chief wore a head dress made out if feathers made out if turkey feathers. When they would scalp people they thought that it would not let them have a after life. That they would only do that so the an make your soul still live.
Clothing
They mostly wore buffalo hide to keep warm in the winter but in the other seasons they take all of the fur and cut all of it off and make differs clothes for men,woman, kids and baby's.
Food
The mostly eat buffalo so they travel with them and try eat turkey. They use them for different things .They let the buffalo meat dry so it will last longer and used the rest of the buffalo for many things.
Shelter
The buffalo hide can make there homes the hide is warm and it thick so it that helps a lot because its stable. Since there were a lot of buffalo they made the tents huge 10 or less people could fit in the tent. They are easy to take down because there are sticks and hide and that's.
About the chief
If the Chief wants to make changes to the tribe he has to go to bands council and he has to give them a reason why he wants to do it and they make the choice so the chief had limited power.
About there homes
These are what the tepees looked like as you can tell they are big so they can fit many people inside and the tepees are easy to move it pack up so if they have to go and follow the buffalo they do that for that reason.
Worriers
They lived in the southern plains from Texas to Nebraska they were the best in horse back. They had spears so they could just put it through them and ride around.
