Their original migration took them to the southern Great Plains, into a sweep of territory extending from the Arkansas River to central Texas. During that time, their population increased dramatically because of the abundance of buffalo, an influx of Shoshone migrants, and the adoption of significant numbers of women and children taken captive from rival groups. The Comanche never formed a single cohesive tribal unit but were divided into almost a dozen
Many people believe that the mustangs that roam the American west have been there since the beginning of time, but the reality is the iconic feral horses have only been there for about five hundred years. In the centuries that have followed the horses’ arrival to North America, the struggle for their freedom intensified; between American settlers capturing the horses for sale and slaughter, and the Native Americans capturing them for transportation reasons, the number of herds has dwindled drastically. The movie Spirit, Stallion of the Cimarron, tells the story of a wild mustang stallion named Spirit in the nineteenth century Wild West that is captured by wranglers and taken to the U.S Cavalry, where they attempt and fail to break him.
