Comanche Tribe by Jacie

    By:Jacie

In the fourth grade class room of Mrs.Ward we learned about the indians that lived in Texas. The one I like the best is the Camanche tribe. The Camanche tribe lived in the Great Plains. They were a very agressive tribe. When the white settlers came to there teritory they came to were they lived and kidnapped adults and children. The children were normaly adopted into there tribe. During the Gold Rush more and more settlers came to live in the Great Plains. After the Camanche tribe had kidnapped alot of adults and children they came across an important child they took her they burned off her nose and shaved her head. When the Camanche tribe wanted to come to peace with th whites they brought back all the adults and children. When the whites saw the girl they did not come to peace with the tribe instead they fought. After that the camanche tribe either moved from the Great Plains or died from the diseases the settlers brought with them.
