Famed indian’s kin gives talk
Wayne Parker of Ralls, a
direct descendant of famed
Comanche Indian Chief Quanah
Parker, spoke to a large crowd at
the Seagraves-Loop Museum and
Art Center Thursday afternoon.
Parker, a fourth cousin of the
legendary Indian, presented a
program not only on his
illustrious ancestor, but on
Indian history in the Panhandle-
South Plains area as well.
In his presentation, Parker
said that although the Comanche
tribe was the most prevalent,
tribes of Kiowa, South Cheyenne
and Arapahoe also were believed
to have settled in this area.
Parker, who has published
over 60 articles about American
Indian relics and is a charter
member of the South Plains
Archaelogical Society, also
showed the group a display of
artifacts from his own private
collection, which encompasses
some 20,000 items. . v
Among those items shown
were arrowheads from the
different periods when Indian
tribes roamed the South Plains
area, the Paleolithic period, the
Archaic period, the Neo-Indian
period, and the Historic period.
Although most arrowheads are
made from flint, Parker said that
no natural flint is found in Gaines
County, and therefore the
arrowheads found in most of the
area probably came from the
Edwards Plateau.
In talking of Quanah Parker,
Parker stated that he was the
oldest of three children born to a
white woman, Synthia Ann
Parker and q Comanche chief,
Nacona. Also, although there has
been some dispute as to where
Parker was actually born, he has
no doubt that the famed Indian
was born at Cedar Lake, located
northeast of Seminole.
Parker, although he was
being given several thousand
acres of land around the Fort Sill
area, where several of the
Indian’s survivors still maifttam
residence, mainly in the cities
around the current Fort Sill
military facility.
famed as a fighter, did surrender
his people to authorities at Fort
Sill, Oklahoma in 1875, after an
order was issued for him to
surrender or be wiped out.
The voluntary surrender
culminated in Parker’s people
