Personal Choice


One day a boy named Bishr said he wanted to be a chief of The Comanche Tribe. Bishr went up to the mountain and told the wind eagle “will I ever be a chief “Bishr said. The wind eagle response the eagle said, “ you will never be a chief.” It made Bishr even madder, so Bishr pushed the wind eagle off the cliff. While Bishr went down the mountain he thought what he had did to the wind eagle he was proud. When Bishr went back down the mountain he saw his dad he said can I go hunting with you, his dad said ok son. While he was hunting he caught a buffalo Bishr was proud of himself. After hunting Bishr went up the mountain the second time he saw the wind eagle, Bishr said again ‘will I ever be a chief.’ The wind eagle said again ‘no you will never be a chief.’ Bishr got madder he started up a fire and threw the wind eagle in the fire but the wind eagle survives. Bishr went down the mountain and was time go to sleep. In the morning Bishr woke up and was hungry, he had a piece of a buffalo. The last time Bishr went up the mountain and said again “ will I ever be a chief” Bishr said, the wind eagle said “ok if you stop hurting me”. One day later he became a chief, but died of a disease the same day.

Comanche Story





Hello, my name is Gapal and my tribe name is Comanche. I live in the western plains. I’m going to introduce you to my family. My dad’s name is Abdullah, my mom’s name Keshira, and, last, but not least, my brother’s name is Dayada. He’s the best brother you can ever imagine.

To begin with, I live in a teepee. A teepee is a cone-shaped tent that is made out of buffalo skin. The Comanche tribe’s main food is buffalo. The Comanche tribe eats the buffalo and uses every piece of the buffalo for many reasons. The Comanche uses up all of the buffalo for special occasions. They use the skin to make clothes or teepees and they use the bones to make eating utensils. The Comanche also eat small rabbits and fish, nuts, berries, and wild potatoes that we grow.

My tribe used to live in the Rocky Mountains, but we decided we didn’t have enough room to roam the land because of other tribes in the area, so we moved to the plains and took over the Apache tribe and killed them. We took over in the 1800s. Sadly, we didn’t mind killing them because we really needed the land.

Lastly, Our tradition at Smithsonian is telling people what kind of tools we use to hunt buffalo. Also we show them our cloths and lastly we tell them about our life. Furthermore we go back home and eat our spicy buffalo and hang out with my brother Dayada.
