Description
Quanah Parker was a leader of the Comanche people during the tumultuous transition from free-range life on the southern plains to the ways of reservation life. He became an influential negotiator with government agents, a prosperous cattle-rancher, a vocal advocate of formal education for Native children, and a devout member of the Peyote Cult.
His father was the famous Peta Nocona, chief of the Noconi band of Comanche. His mother was Naudah (Cynthia Ann Parker), a white woman who was taken captive as a young girl from Fort Parker, Texas.
On February 23, 1911, at the age of 66 he died of an undiagnosed illness. He is buried at Fort Sill, Oklahoma.
The epitaph of Quanah Parker
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glint in snow
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you wake in the morning hush.
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night.
Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
Ai!
