The Comanche are Native Americans who live in an area called the Comancheria, which was at present-day Eastern New Mexico, Southern Colorado, Southern Kansas, all of Oklahoma, and most of Northern and Southern Texas. There once were as many as 20,000 Comanches. Today, the Comanche Nation has 10,000 members, about of them live in Oklahoma (centered at Lawton), and the rest in Texas, California, and New Mexico. The Comanche speak a language of their own, the Comanche language that is related to other Native American ones, called Uto-Aztecan language family.
The name "Comanche" was given by the Mexican, and it was the word the Comanche used to call them, komantsia (enemy, foreigner). But the Comanches' call themselves Numunuu, meaning "human being" or "the People". They were very good warriors a fought the White settlers and the Army for amny years, until they surrendered in 1875.
