The thing that got under my skin (as a Comanche) was the way we were both referred to (Feats of Comanche Horsemanship) and left out. Bass Reeves rode with Comanche law man Permansu. The histories of Black and Indigenous people are inseparable.
Yeah, it's definitely an odd omission, with so much else done so well
correct me if I'm wrong: awhile ago i read some pretty interesting Texas history about the Comanches and Kiowas taking enslaved kids from Spainish Presidios and later Anglo plantations to adopt them bc while they had war bondage, the idea of enslaving children was seen as cowardly
