haha! yes Ma'am those Tonkawa were bad news and the Comanche did everything they could to wipe them out and they came close but didn't quite do it. In the early 1900's the Tonkawa were staying at an army complex and for some reason all the soldiers had to leave or got called away and a group of other tribes attacked the Tonkawa on that base and killed half of them.
At that time there was something like 56 of them left. The other tribes also hated them so much because they were cannibals. they've rebuilt their numbers now, I think there's about 500 now.
