Description
The Comanches were rulers of the Great Plains in the 1700's and became known as the "Lords of the Plains" in southern North America. Renowned for their horsemanship, the Comanches defended their land from all intruders. As a child, I was taught to pray facing the four directions of the earth to show respect to the Great Spirit (Comanches believed in only one true God, unlike many South American tribes that worshipped many gods). The number four is of great importance to a Comanche and is considered a sacred number for that reason. My name Tuinahvuni translates "Little Mirror" and was given to me by the elder of my tribe when I was born. The modern day Comanche Tribe now numbers approximately 14,500 and predominately resides in Southwest Oklahoma. (This creation is based on a painting done by a renowned Comanche artist named Weckeah, she is a direct descendant of Quanah Parker the last chief of the Comanches)
