Each year on Labor Day weekend the annual Intertribal Pow Wow is held in the little Texas town of Bandera. With tribe members of many different tribs scattered over many states they come together to honor our freedom and the ones that have made America what it is today.  They honor the men and women who have served America and the ones that are in service now.

They come to honor the May 9, 1847 Treaty between the Comanche nation and the German Immigration Company.  This treaty between the Commissary General of the German Immigration Company, John O. Meusebach  on behalf of the German Colonist and the Comanche Nation and the Chiefs there of.  This treaty covered the lands between the LLano and San Saba Rivers and the German Settlers and provided protection to the Settlers by the Comanche Nation. And the Comanches would be protected by the German Settlers and to come into any town or settlement without fear.  I wish there could be room to copy the complete Treaty here but it would take up a lot of space.  This is the only Treaty with any Indian tribe that was not broken and is still celebrated each year in Fredericksburg Texas a town that was in the Treaty lands.

Here are some pictures of members of different tribes and the dress customs of each tribe listed.
