    1. LL, stow yer racist shit, get off your lazy ass and read about how the Commanche stopped westward advancement for 30-40 years along the Texas western frontier. They were a absolutely incredible warrior class who fought off all invaders with no quarter given. They were the original "you better save the last bullet for yourself" baddies for if they got ahold of you, you were truly fucked. Incredible warriors and probably the toughest of all the tribes. Look at the size of the area and the length of time they dominated and compare that to the Sioux. So look this up and knock off your racist lowlife bullshit. BTW, I am white and conservative, fuck obama, pelosi and the rest of them and hold American Indians in high esteem.

    2. Steve, it's ok, we're just having some fun with the goofy expression on the guy's face, not casting aspersions on the tribe as a whole. It's probably more likely that the photographer told him a joke to try to make him smile, and it worked.

  3. A friend of mine is Comanche (last name Red Elk), her father was a code talker in WWII, she had me read "Empire of the Summer Moon." by S.C. Gwynne. An amazing story of an amazing tribe of people.
