9 years ago, on this day (September 29), Johnny attended and was the special guest on the 21st Annual Comanche Nation Fair, in Lawton, Oklahoma.

On that day, Johnny arrived as part of the parade, took some time to have a special meeting with the Comanche children and teenagers to answer their questions about life and his career and greeted all of those we could, taking photos, sharing hugs and signing autographs. Johnny attended the event with his Comanche mother and president of Americans for Indian Opportunity,  LaDonna Harris, and Gil Birmingham, who also featured on "The Lone ranger" as Red Knee, as well sharing information about his Comanche family with the movie’s producers.

During his tour on the fair Johnny also visited the tribe’s SIA program where he had a special lunch and later he also had a welcoming ceremony where ended up being surprised with a proclamation of the Comanche Nation Chairman, Wallace Coffey, who made him an honorary Comanche. Johnny was even dressed by LaDonna Harris with traditional Comanche dance clothes, called “Tuhu Wii”, which means “The Black Knife” and is reflection of “Tonto”, his character in “The  Lone Ranger” . Johnny also learned more about the history of the Comanche people and visited and paid tributes on the gravesites of Comanche Chiefs Ten Bears and Quanah Parker. Johnny also had the opportunity to pay his respects to Wallace Coffey and his wife Debbie, presenting with a special gift: A portrait of the Comanche leader Quanah Parker, totally painted on tobacco rolling papers by Johnny himself. The paint is on permanent display at the at the Comanche National Museum and Cultural Center, in Lawton, Oklahoma, to be appreciated by all.

The Rise And Fall Of The Comanche 'Empire'

Quanah Parker, considered the greatest Comanche chief, was the son of Cynthia Ann Parker, a white pioneer woman kidnapped by a raiding party when she was a little girl. Their story — and the saga of the powerful American Indian tribe — is told by S.C. Gwynne in his book, Empire of the Summer Moon.

Really interesting NPR article on Comanche history and culture.

"If you go back through Comanche history, you see that they were the ones who stopped the Spanish from coming North," he explains. "Why did the French stop coming west from Louisiana? Comanches. ... Here was why the West Coast and the East Coast settled before the middle of the country. Here was why there was basically a 40-year wait before you could develop the state of Texas or before other Plain states could be developed."
