==Influential people== ===Iron Jacket=== {{Main|Iron Jacket}} [[Iron Jacket]] was a [[Comanche]] chief and medicine man. The name “Iron Jacket” came from his tendency to wear a coat of mail into battle. Iron Jacket took part in the Antelope Hills Expedition of 1858, where he was ultimately killed at the [[Battle of Little Robe Creek]]. His son, [[Peta Nocona]], became a chief himself. ===Peta Nocona=== {{Main|Peta Nocona}} [[Peta Nocona]] was the father of the last Comanche Chief [[Quanah Parker]], as well as a [[Comanche]] Chief who played a crucial part in the Indian Wars. [[Peta Nocona]] led the full attack on [[Fort Parker]] where [[Cynthia Ann Parker]] was taken captive and later became his wife. [[Peta Nocona]]'s place and date of death is still in dispute. ===Quanah Parker=== {{Main|Quanah Parker}} [[File:Chief Quanah Parker of the Kwahadi Comanche.jpg|thumbnail|Chief [[Quanah Parker]], son of Cynthia Parker and last chief of the Comanche]] [[Quanah Parker]] was the last Comanche Chief and part of the Quahadi sect of the Comanche, who were highly respected by the other tribes. Quanah was never an official chief since the United States government appointed him to the position. Before he was a [[Comanche]] chief, [[Quanah Parker]] witnessed the peace negotiations of 1867 but refused to sign the accords. ===Buffalo Hump=== {{Main|Buffalo Hump}} [[Buffalo Hump]] was a [[Comanche]] War Chief who led the [[Great Raid of 1840]] after Texan officials killed [[Comanche]] delegates during the events that unfolded during the [[Council House Fight]]. ===Mirabeau B. Lamar=== {{Main|Mirabeau B. Lamar}} [[Mirabeau Lamar]] was the second President of the Republic of Texas from 1838 to 1841, preceded by [[Sam Houston]]. [[Mirabeau Lamar]] had a harsher policy towards Native Americans in Texas and signed two bills which escalated tensions in the region. The first bill was signed on December 21, 1838, which formed an 840-man regiment to protect the Northern and Western Frontiers of Texas. An additional bill was passed on December 29, 1838, which added an additional 8 companies of mounted volunteers to serve 6 month deployments.<ref>Brice, Donaly E.

Print. </ref> ===Santa Anna (Comanche war chief)=== {{Main|Santa Anna (Comanche war chief)}} Santa Anna was a Comanche war chief who advocated for armed resistance against the Texas settlers, and became influential after the [[Council House Fight]] of 1840 in San Antonio. Santa Anna joined forces with [[Buffalo Hump]] and most likely took part in the [[Battle of Plum Creek]] and the [[Great Raid of 1840]]. Santa Anna was the first of his tribe to travel to Washington, D.C., and agreed to sign a treaty in May 1846, despite the continued hostilities. Santa Anna died from a cholera outbreak in 1849.<ref>Jodye Lynn Dickson Schilz, "SANTA ANNA," Handbook of Texas Online (http://www.tshaonline.org/handbook/online/articles/fsa30), accessed April 07, 2014.
