The son of a Tonkawa Chief and a Comanche female captive/slave was born early in Texas. He became the greatest enemy of the Comanche in Texas because of his mother. The last major Chief of the Tonkawa Indians was known as Ha-shu-ka-na, or "Can't Kill Him". The Tonkawas helped the white Texas settlers against their enemies. During the Long expedition into Texas in 1819, Plcido became the leader of the Tonkawas.In battles with the Spanish army, warriors from several tribes, including <mask> and his Tonkawa, joined in. After Carita, a Tonkawa leader, died in 1823, the chiefs and elders elected Plcido as their leader. The Chief and Stephen Austin befriended each other. The Tonkawa supported the Texan forces in the Texas War for Independence. The Tonkawa felt secure in their central Texas home, near the Springs of the San Marcos River. The Texans would not have been in a position to intercept Buffalo Hump and the returning raiders except for the help of Plcido. The raiding party at Plum Creek was attacked by the Texas militia with the help of Chief Plcido and thirteen of his Tonkawa scouts.The last battle the Tonkawa and Texans fought was the Battle of Little Robe Creek.

Ford was known as a ferocious and no-nonsense Indian fighter. He could not find his proclivity for ordering the wholesale slaughter of any Indian, man or woman in the history books.The reason for this was simple: the Comanche raids were brutal in their treatment of settlers. Ford was determined to meet brutality. Governor Runnels told Ford the necessity of action and energy. If you can, follow any trail that leads to hostile Indians and overtake them if you can. The Tonkawa were recruited by Ford on March 19, 1858, near the city of Fort Worth, Texas. The Tonkawa Indians, commanded by their "celebrated" chief, <mask>, are being hailed as a faithful and trusted friend of the whites. Ford didn't have enough men to launch a campaign into the Comancheria without the Tonkawa.Ford undertook a campaign with an equal number of Texas Rangers and Tonkawa Warriors against the Comanches.

Peta Nocona knew that his warriors were no match for the Rangers in an exchange of gunfire, and had no intention of engaging in such an exchange. He tried to lure the Rangers and Tonkawas into individual duals to delay the enemy so the villages upriver would be able to withdraw safely. He was successful in this. The Battle of Little Robe Creek was notable for the fact that the Texan forces invaded the United States against all federal law and numerous Indian Treaties, then attacked Indian villages without warning, and allowed their allied Indians, the Tonkawa, to eat some of the Comanche killed in battle. The Tonkawa were on the verge of extinction after Little Robe Creek.The settlers accused two Tonkawa warriors of killing a man, and Plcido fled, seeking refuge with other Indians. Robert Neighbors was the one who convinced the US military not to pursue the matter. Texas was becoming more dangerous for the Indian due to increased harassment by white settlers. Indian agent Neighbors convinced the United States to allow the displacement of all the Texas tribes, including Plcido and his Tonkawa, to a reservation in Indian Territory. When Confederate Indian agents arrived at the reservations, only the Tonkawa welcomed them, as <mask> saw the Confederacy as an extension of his beloved Republic of Texas. The Tonkawa's loyalty to the Texans was never forgotten by other Indians. Despite pleas
