Abstract
This book outlines the social history of Comanche from their earlier contact with European settlers in 1701, through decades of living on reserves, to the 1990s. It argues that the Comanches did not cease to 'being Comanche' despite government policy measures which sought to make them 'melt' into the Anglo-American mainstream culture. The book examines this continuity by focusing on the ways individual members of Comahche society adaptively related and interacted with one another in a variety of social situations such as ethnic gatherings, associations, family events, and community rituals and cultural celeberations.
