Comanche Chief Quanah Parker’s Daughters 1891

Quanah Parker (Comanche kwana, "smell, odor") 1845 – February 20, 1911, was a war leader of the Kwahadi ("Antelope") band of the Comanche Nation. 


He was likely born into the Nokoni (Wanderers) band of Tabby-nocca and grew up among the Kwahadis, the son of Kwahadi Comanche chief Peta Nocona and Cynthia Ann Parker, an Anglo-American who had been taken along as a child and assimilated into the Nokoni tribe.

Following the apprehension of several Kiowa chiefs in 1871, Quanah Parker emerged as a dominant figure in the Red River War, clashing repeatedly with Colonel Ranald S. Mackenzie. 

With European-Americans hunting American bison, the Comanches' primary sustenance, into near extinction, Quanah Parker eventually surrendered and peaceably led the Kwahadi to the reservation at Fort Sill, Oklahoma.

Quanah Parker refused to follow U.S. marriage laws and had eight wives and twenty-five children (some of whom were adopted.
