One of their earliest known chiefs was called "Green Horn" due to the horned headdress he wore in battle. These people, who signed a treaty with German farmer John Meusebach, were originally divided into the Yamparikas or "root-eaters," the Jupes, and the Kotsotekas. Under chief Ten Bears, these people, along with the Kiowa and Apache, were put on reservations by the Medicine Lodge Treaty. Their last independent chief was the son of Cynthia Parker, a white woman captured as a child by these people in the Fort Parker massacre. They share their name with  George Custer's horse who survived Little Bighorn. Their last major defeat was at Palo Duro Canyon in 1874. These "Lords of the Southern Plains" have a namesake trail in Big Bend National Park. For 10 points, name this American Indian tribe largely based in Texas and Oklahoma.
