Readers learn of the Comanches' past suffering on reservations, and of their increasing strength since the late 20th century. The book also discusses their traditional way of life, including their nomadic lifestyle, arts, beliefs, and legends. A helpful timeline summarizes Comanche history, and additional resources and suggested activities offer readers the chance to learn more about this amazing culture.
