Some Comanche and Kiowa rejected the Medicine Lodge Creek Treaty (1867)
After the Salt Creek Massacre (1871) the US Army wanted to move all Native Americans in West Texas to Indian Territory.
Quanah Parker (Comanche) and Lone Wolf (Kiowa) attacked buffalo hunters at Adobe Walls (June 1874), but were defeated.
The Indians were further defeated at the Battle of Palo Duro Canyon, where they lost most of their horses and winter food. With the US Army, wiping out the buffalo, the Indians suffered that winter.
Quanah Parker surrendered in June 1875.
African American soldiers were called “Buffalo Soldiers” by the Native Americans and played a major role in defeating the Apaches in the southwestern portion of the state.
