In 1867 Chief Q. Parker became Chief of the Comanche. He was never captured by the Army, but decided to surrender, and lead his tribe into the white man's culture when he saw that there was no alternative. He was very successful in working with white culture and using the American cultures to help his people. He was the son Comanche Chief Peta Nocone and Cynthia Ann Parker, a survivor of a massacre. He was buried next to his mother at Fort Sill in Oklahoma.

Chief Q. Parker is a pen and ink drawing.
