Quanah Parker, eldest son of Cynthia Ann Parker and Peta Nocona, was the last chief of the Comanche's. He led a fierce band of warriors on the Llano Escatado (Staked Plain) of northwest Texas before surrendering at Ft. Sill, Oklahoma in 1870. With one foot in two worlds, he became a statesman for his tribe, a wealthy cattle rancher and a friend of cattleman Charles Goodnight and President Theodore Roosevelt. However, he refused to convert to Christianity or to give up his braids and his many wives. The exhibit features photos of Quanah that reflect his life as he learned to blend two cultures by taking his mother's family name and providing leadership to the Comanche people as they entered the 20th century.
