Interesting that there is not a single case of settlers kidnapped ...

Seriously, though, they were much more in tune with the rhythms of nature than we were...

Women had difficulty in conceiving, and infection killed many in childbirth. The awful exposure and constant hunger and labor turned Comanche women into crones at twenty-five, while the men’s powers frequently failed by thirty. The vast majority of the People who reached the age of forty already carried the seeds and signs of imminent death, although the People, like most Asian stock, did not turn gray.

Mercifully, few grew old. The image the Comanche had of old age was malevolent, for there was no place for a female who could not work or keep up, or for a pain-wracked, dim-eyed hunter who could not take the trail. There was no way for the People to prepare for old age. Life was such that most died young, but suicide and euthanasia were widespread throughout the bands. A man or woman who could no longer make the march, or who would starve before the thaws, walked off to die in privacy like a proud animal. The obviously fatally ill were usually abandoned to their fate, partly out of sheer pragmatism, partly out of fear of the hostile spirits believed to surround the stricken or unfortunate. The deformed were destroyed; women caught in incest were executed; twins were killed because they appeared to be unnatural; in bad times, and in very ancient times, girl infants were exposed to die in the wilderness. The People showed very little concern for such anticipated death. The Comanche knew man had little time upon the earth.

LOL! I think you need to read a few books on Native history and not just rely on stories that your grandma, who was a Cherokee Princess, told you.

The Comanche ruled the southern plains and much of Northern Mexico. They drove out the Apache from Texas and basically held Spanish settlements in the area hostage for over a hundred years. Until the United States Army entered the picture, the Comanche were unmatched for military prowess and domination of such a wide territory. Try reading this book for a better picture. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3304956-the-comanche-empire

The Cherokees' accomplishments, other than being among the most successful at adapting to White ways, were negligible compared to those of the Comanche. They offered very little resistance and in no way earned the fear and respect of their neighbors in the way the Comanche did.

Don't type out of ignorance, because you'll only embarrass yourself.

Got it backward. It's not people on the left who are anti-fact. We don't pretend climate change is a hoax, claim covid-19 doesn't exist or that masks do nothing, make up nonsense about dead people voting or vast illogical conspiracies to avoid a simple conclusion (ever heard of Occam's Razor?). So on and so forth.

Every righty I've ever met argues based on emotion - mostly anger and a sense of grievance. Time and time again I've laid out in detail why I take a certain position on something, hoping maybe this once I'll get a rational two way discussion, but no. Always deflection and distraction. Name calling and projection. The one thing you'll never get is a straight answer to a simple question. Every response is something other than that.
