They owned lots of horses and even some of them were estimated to have as many as two hundred horses. The crow Indians are known to be the best horse thieves. Comanche were frightened in battles. The Comanche culture was much similar to that of other Plains Indians. They used bow and arrow, stone-hammer and pipe-axe, and the round buffalo shield in wars. They used to make and decorate tepees to live in. They traded with other people too, by exchanging their horses. Apaches were the greatest enemies of Comanche. Comanche had three dominant branches i.e. quohada, yapparika, noyika and kotchatekas. Comanche didn’t do sun dance.  Quana Parker and Pahawka were heroes of Comanche. Comanche progressed a lot by trading with the white men and adopting their lifestyles. They were so rich that people were jealous of them. Comanche used to pick up the wounded or dead people in a very unique way to either take them to recovery or burial. Sometimes even their enemies came to them for help. Comanche live in Oklahoma today. There are about 2000 of them.
