As chief of the Comanche, Parker worked hard to help his people. He pushed for the construction of schools on the reservation. By leasing unused reservation land to Anglo cattlemen, he increased the Comanche’s income. Although Parker urged his people to adopt white ways, he never forgot he was a Comanche.
