About Black Horse

Black Horse, his wife, and daughter Akhah at Fort Marion Prison, St. Augustine, Florida, c. 1878

Black Horse or Tu-ukumah (died c. 1900), was a Comanche war chief. After Bull Bear died in 1874, Black Horse was promoted to second chief in the Quahadi band of Comanche.

He surrendered to the United States Army at Fort Sill, Indian Territory, at the end of the Red River War in early 1875. Quanah Parker was only made Chief by the United States Army, because the Comanches did not want a Chief after captivity.

Death Black Horse died around 1900 in Cache, Oklahoma Territory.
