Collections
Drawing from our 3000 objects, CNMCC showcases a wide variety of artifacts representing the rich history and culture of the Comanche people.
CNMCC is home to the Fort Sill Indian School and Charles Chibitty Collections. Other items of interest include the first Comanche Nation flag, a hand-painted replica of a German Balkan Cross flag retrieved by Comanche Code Talker, Larry Saupitty, during World War II and a unique, seven-foot wooden horse sculpture by Quanah Parker Burgess.
