The wisdom shared by the Comanche people—one of the Great Plains’ most resilient Indigenous cultures—speaks to the universal truth that, in death, all are equal. The Comanche, known for their skill in horsemanship and their fierce commitment to their lands and way of life, upheld values of kinship, honor, and resilience. This proverb on equality in life and death reminds us that life’s ultimate value lies in our shared experiences and connections rather than worldly pursuits. In the Comanche tradition, life’s transient nature is both accepted and revered, a reminder that while we may walk different paths, we share a common journey. As we celebrate Indigenous Peoples' Culture Month, this wisdom prompts us to cherish each moment and to remember the beauty of our shared human experience.
