POWanada Parker is a distinguished figure in Comanche history, recognized as the daughter of Quanah Parker, the renowned chief of the Nocona Comanche tribe, and Weckeah. Born in 1882, her name, Wanada, is thought to signify "bringer of victory" or "victorious woman" in the Comanche language. Her life spanned nearly a century, from the late 19th century into the 20th century—a period marked by significant transformation for her people. Wanada was married twice; her first marriage was to Walter Komah in 1906, who sadly passed away in 1912. She subsequently married Benjamin Harrison Page, an orthopedic surgeon, in 1916. Wanada Parker passed away in 1970 at the age of 89, leaving a legacy as a direct descendant of one of the most prominent leaders of the Great Plains. A photograph of her, taken by Edward Bates in 1909, serves to immortalize her image.
