Lecture Series: Lance Tahmahkera

Join us at Smithsonian in the Gap for a compelling presentation by Lance Tahmahkera, a direct descendant of Quanah Parker. Through his unique perspective, Tahmahkera will share the extraordinary story of Quanah Parker, the last Chief of the Comanche, and his mother, Cynthia Ann Parker, a settler captured and raised by the Comanche.

Discover their incredible journey—Cynthia Ann’s life among the Comanche, Quanah’s rise as a powerful leader, and their lasting impact on Texas history.
