buffalo hump
despite the council house, and the subsequent great raid of 1840, sam houston and buffalo hump, with other chiefs representing, for the first time, every major division of the comanche in texas, succeeded in august 1843, in agreeing to a temporary treaty accord and a ceasefire between the comanches, their allies, and the texans. in october, the comanches agreed to meet with houston and try to negotiate a treaty similar to the one just concluded at fort bird. (that this included buffalo hump, after the events at the council house, showed extraordinary comanche belief in houston) in early 1844, buffalo hump and other comanche leaders (pahayuca "amorous man", mupitsukupʉ "old owl", and others, but not isa-viah "yellow wolf" or santa anna) signed a treaty at tehuacana creek in which they agreed to teturn white captives in toto, and to cease raiding texan settlements. in exchange for this, the texans would cease military action against the tribe, establish more trading posts, and recognize the boundary between texas and comanchería. comanche allies, including the wacos, tawakonis, kiowa, kiowa apache and wichita, also agreed to join in the treaty. unfortunately, the boundary provision was deleted by the texas senate in the final version, which caused buffalo hump to repudiate the treaty, and soon a resumption of hostilities occurred.
