Adjustment to a settled way of life was especially difficult for the
nomadic Plains Indians.  The United Indian Force, led by Comanche chief
Quanah Parker, surrendered to the U.S. army in 1875, and the tribes were
settled in what is today Oklahoma.  Parker encouraged his people to keep
Indian traditions alive, but also to adopt new ways necessary for
survival, such as the leasing of land to earn income by farming.  Shown
above is one of Parker's wives scavenging for beef entrails near a
reservation slaughterhouse.  Along with poverty and disease, hunger was a
common condition on the reservation.
