He was much bigger than most is Mother's people were very large and his father's people were very large so he turned out to be like a freaking monster 6,7 something like that. 300 lb 275 lbs and wrote a horse like a 100-pound expert he could easily ride up completely invisible on the other side of that horse jump off kill you get back on his horse and be gone

His Comanche name was Kwana (Quanah is the white American version and incorrect as usual). Kwana comes from the verb kwanarʉ, meaning to stink or smell very bad - so "Stinker" would be one translation. In more modern times the meaning of the name has been changed to "fragrant", or "smells good". This is likely due to the celebrity status afforded to Kwana Parker and embarrassment about the true original meaning of the name.

tichburyfan, thanks for this information about the meaning of Chief Parker's Comanche name. I wonder how he earned it 😄 But I don't think it matters how the name is written when we use the Latin alphabet. Since the Comanche didn't develop a writing system, we can only try to approximate the sound of a Comanche word, when it is spoken by native speakers. And I guess there is not a big difference between "Quana" and "Kwana" - at least not in German. Vocally both versions sound exactly the same. Would there be a difference in English?

Comanche did not have an alphabet so there is no "correct" way to spell his name, but thanks for your "hate whitey" jab--not. So a proud and loving mother would name her first born--and a male at that--Stinky? Sure.

Lots of folks don't know , but Quanah was also a shaman and regularly consumed fifty peyote buttons a day !!!!! Bill Neeley wrote a book Quanah Parker and His People and lived here in the town of Quanah where he taught high school English. Bill loves the Comanche as if they were his own. Check it out !

Annoying background music too loud 🤨

What a fascinating story! I had heard about Quanah Parker Parker and his white mother while growing up in Western Canada in the sixties but had largely forgotten about him until I watched your excellent You Tube video !

What a family tree. Grandfather was Iron Jacket and father was Peta Nacona.

Thanks for that video! Quana Parker's life was truly remarkable! His leadership, his intelligence, and his imposing looks must have been extraordinary. The tragic story of his mother's life is heartbreaking. But if we consider how cruelly the Comanche usually treated their captives, it's understandable that the Parker clan never stopped looking for Quana's mother Cynthia Ann Parker. The Parkers could not know that Cynthia, who had been abducted when she was only nine years old, had been treated much better than most other female captives, who had been severely mutilated and raped. Rachel Plummer, another member of the Parker clan, who had been abducted as well, had been tortured, mutilated and raped. Her newborn son was killed before her own eyes, because her owners wanted her to work harder. She was treated like a slave before she was ransomed. She wrote a vivid and eloquent account of her harrowing ordeal. But Cynthia was lucky. She had been adopted, and she was happily married to chief Peta Nokona. Today we think it was very cruel that the Parkers did not allow Cynthia to go home to her tribe after she had been found and returned to the Parkers. But the Parkers were not her family anymore. Cynthia Ann had become a Comanche and she just wanted to be with her husband and her family. She and her daughter perished soon after she had been taken away from her tribe. It is astonishing that Cynthia's son Quana was able to make a fairly smooth transition after his life as a war chief was over . He was intelligent and charismatic and he thrived after he had surrendered and led his people to the reservation. The traditional hunter-warrior life style of the plains tribes was not sustainable anymore. I am surprised that this great story hasn't been turned into a movie, yet. Just like Sitting Bull, Red Cloud, Cochise, Geronimo and other well known war chiefs, Quana was one of the greatest Native American leaders. He was a fierce and intelligent warrior. But I am even more impressed by his achievements after his surrender. He managed to live an active and meaningful life. He remained a leader of his people, and he never forgot to help others who had been less successful. But he may have had an advantage because he wasn't just a great Comanche war chief. Texans also reckognized Quana as a member of the very influential Parker clan. Quana had managed to earn their respect. Edit: Cynthia Parker did not die shortly after she had been captured and returned to the Parker clan. She lived for 8 more years. But her baby girl died shortly after Cynthia had been returned, and Cynthia was desperately unhappy.

@@cplmpcocptcl6306, you are right. Cynthia didn't die shortly after she had been brought back to the Parker clan. As you said, she lived 8 more years before she died. But her baby girl Prairee Flower died shortly after Cynthia had been returned to the Parkers, and Cythia tried to run away many times because she hoped to be reunited with her husband and her son. It's not known for sure when exactly Cynthia's Comanche husband Peta Nakona died. It has been claimed that he was killed when Cynthia was captured and returned to the Parker clan. But Quana Parker always said that his father hasn't been killed on that day because he was elsewhere. According to Quana his father lived for a few more years. It has been hotly debated if Quana has told the truth. But I don't think that Cynthia would've needed her husband's protection because Quana would've taken care of his mother if she would've returned.

I don't think we know how Cynthia was treated when first captured. It could have been cruel because the savagery started immediately. We don't know when she had a child, only that she had 3 with Nocona. Could have been others. Do we know anything about how she became lucky enough survive really? Women were not well treated. However, because she had 3 children (that we know) she was known to be fertile so had some status for that reason.

@@ellebelle4094, I don't know if Cynthia herself has given any detailed accounts of her life with the Comanche, after she had been returned to the Parker family. But while many prisoners of the Comanche have indeed been treated very cruelly and have remained slaves - no matter if they were white or Native American - this wasn't always the case. Some prisoners were integrated, and girls who were old enough for work had a better chance to survive their ordeal. But many captured girls and young women who were fertile, remained slaves nevertheless. Cynthia was one of a lucky few. And when Cynthia's son Quana was old enough, he has observed how his mother fared with her tribe. It has been said, that Cynthia and her husband Peta Nakona cared for each other and I don't think that Cynthia would have been hell bent on returning to her tribe if her life as a Comanche woman and as Peta Nakona's wife would've been terrible. But no matter what, Cynthia's story is heart breaking!

@@sabineb.5616 Stories vary. Apparently, integration into the tribe was not the rule but done only as necessary to fill voids and even then it was dicey. Notice that when Quannah and his brothers were young orphans (10 and 12) they were treated badly by their own people as orphans were disliked apparently intensely. That his mother and father cared deeply for each other is an amazing aspect--he only took her as his wife and not the several others he was entitled to. But perhaps her life with him was "good" only in comparison to others of the tribe because she didn't know differently. In any case, she wanted to be back with her sons and in that tribe where she seemed to have some status whereas she was a mere curiosity in the white community. Can't blame her.

So interesting thank you

So proud to be from his people , Quana even opened up his home to 4 white orphans , children he called his own . This was a legend of a man , giving his early years of upbringing to his mothers teachings , Visiting her grave many years after her passing.

great video and info thanks. He's briefly mentioned in Comanches Lord's of the Plains book and Comanche Land. In govt documents he's pretty famous. Most major govt documents his name is there. When the reservations times hit, Comanches broke off into factions for various reasons. Two main groups formed east and west basically. To this day, two groups still exist and only a few tribal historians can trace the history back to who when and where. One day I think I may make a video of late T.V and his group, there are other people involved such as late White wolf and Ten Bears. Also there are two Lipan Apaches that QP hired from Coahuila by way of Mescalero to protect himself from other Comanches, they also helped teach Lipan Apache peyote ways. That was a big thing too. Peyote kinda created a rift from old religion to new then to Christian Church, many comanches followed the sun dance way till that was outlawed by the govt and shut down by the army in a fatal incident, from here some comanches neither did sun dance nor peyote. At lot of this was shared during church meetings and cemetery meetings and burials. People walk from head stone to head stone and give a personal account of what this person is known for. In books there's isolated events but none of it connects. At cemeteries it all connects. There is a lot of knowledge in studying cemeteries and genelogies, govt docs, church docs, relationships, and the few around who know,

The Comanche were the lords of the SOUTHERN PLAINS, my people the LAKOTA, (called Sioux by their enemies and whites) WERE THE LORDS OF THE NORTHERN PLAINS, the Comanches allies the Kiowa, a proud warrior culture that previously ruled the north were defeated and run out by my people where they made peace with the Comanche becoming the Comanches allies . The Cheyenne, had become the allies of the Lakota, and had become quite large and had split into a northern half and southern half, and with our other allies the Arapahoe pretty much ruled the central strip of Colorado, Northern Kansas, Nebraska and part of South Eastern Wyoming, pressing on the Comanche and Kiowa, having some big battles where all tribes took great losses, after a series of devastating defeats however the Cheyenne made peace with the Comanche/Kiowa alliance that was never broken. The Comanche were great wanderers as well raiding once all the way south through Mexico to the Jungles of the Yucatan, returning many months later with many Parrot feathers, Jade and Turquoise beads, and many other things that amazed their people including stories of great battles won scattering all Mexican tribes who tried to face them, and stories of strange animals such as the little people who moved very slowly and lived having upside down in trees (sloths) and the other little people with long tails that made much noise and ran very swiftly through the trees, and Rattlesnakes without rattles and other tales of strange peoples and trees and fruits and animals, entertaining the tribe for many moons around the campfires with the telling of all they experienced!!

The Comanche were NOT eradicated, and if the TEXANS hadn't invaded Comanche lands and acted as haughty as did the Mexicans and Spanish before them then they would have been willing to make peace with their neighbors. Instead the whites came rolling in barking orders and trying to order about a proud warrior culture in its own land, and then cried foul when that culture fought back, then they see their food source being decimated in a very disrespectful and wasteful manner, and they try to protect their way of life and their homeland, the whites were every bit as ruthless as the Comanche, the Comanche gave back in kind what they received. Whites charging through their villages killing everyone they seen , women , men , children young and old but when the Comanche did it the whites cried foul, when whites won an engagement it was a battle, when the Comanche won it was labeled a massacre, many tall tales and outright lies about Comanche "deprivations" were spread as propaganda making them look evil incarnate to uneducated whites who knew nothing about them, thus making it easier to justify the killing of the Comanches and stealing their land and possessions. The Texans were NOT just innocent angels.
