  As hard as it is to accept, Parker did the right thing for his people. I am Choctaw+ Cherokee from my maternal grandfather and he raised me. My name means Shield Wolf the right arm of the family, I am the first born of both sides of my generation. So I speak as one who realize that he did the very best he could for his people. Change was coming and would not be stopped, change with it or perish. What a story, what a man. I love his response, you tell me which one to throw away, LMAO. That's classic.

  Control, destroy, this was a crime against humanity. Thank goodness for Quanah Parker, Washakie, Sitting Bull, Geronimo,  Crazy Horse, etc., what wonderful people.

  It is sad that we learn about other countries history in school, while our own history is forgotten. Thank you for the video.

  Up here in Alberta you can pay the rancher to go in and harvest a buffalo . That was a few years ago and while heading out Elk hunting I asked him what was in the oven; a big buffalo roast. The smell was Godliness; it smelt soooo good and tasted even better.

  I love watching videos about my people. My lineage is dual. Some of my ancestors were Cherokee and others black american.

  Empire of the Summer moon is a great book covering the rise and fall of Comancheria, the Texas rangers (and some other interesting "taibos")  as well as Quanah Parker. It is the first book I have read about the Plains tribes but it probably will not be the last. It was awesome, cannot recommend it enough.

  Somebody had to be the &quot;bridge&quot; between the old and the new. He knew the country would never be the same again, and he tried to prepare them for it, that took some insight. Wow, what a life story. Amazing man.
