The Comanche migrated to “kansas, Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, and Oklahoma.” Because of the comanche living in the certain states, the comanche territory was very deserted. Overall Because of the land being deserted, there was limited amount of water sources. A water source near the comanche tribe was a river known as “The red river.” the Red river as we know of now is located in the state of “Texas.” In the end the comanche tribe migrated to places such as “Wyoming, kansas etc.” Overall, the land of the Comanche tribe was very harsh environment.
The comanche tribe had many ways they met their basic needs. The teepees were made of cedar, pine, etc. The comanche dug a fire pit inside there teepee to keep warm.
