I'll add a bit.  I once sat in a discussion about what might be done to aid the Hispanics in the parish.  A man asked why the parish should do anything, who was letting them in.  A woman, who was 1/2 Comanche, said that parish really wasn't doing anything like the Indians had done, who let just anybody in.   She then explained that the people involved had lived their lifetimes in the area, just had not felt comfortable in the parish settings.
That was in 1969, nearly 50 years ago.  It's what brought to mind the comment.  And of course, the Comanche were ferociously opposed to usurpation of their lands.  They lost.
