housework, the preparation of the
food, the tanning of skins for the
elaboration of clothes and the care of
the animals.
The men were warriors and hunters,
merchants and bosses. Comanche
men were trained in the art of war
from an early age: when children
trained as a game, but as they grew
older, training became increasingly
serious.

perfect man to lead.

“The religion and beliefs of the

Comanche tribe were based on an
animism that included the spiritual
or religious idea that the universe
and all natural objects, animals,
plants, trees, rivers, rocks,
mountains, etc. They possessed a
soul or spirit. The tribes of the
Great Plains, like the Comanches,
believed in Manitú, the Great Spirit.
