Tribal building dedicated to battle addiction (Lawton Constitution)
By Jacob Russell
Staff Writer
www.swoknews.com
The Comanche Nation unveiled a new name, building and logo Wednesday for its ongoing battle against addiction. The Comanche Nation Prevention and Recovery Center, formerly the Comanche Nation Substance Abuse Center, is now at 927 SW D, Suite B.
“A new home, a new direction, that’s what it’s all about,” Tribal Administrator Willie Nelson, said as he spoke briefly after his opening prayer. For director Ronnie Wahkinney, the transformation came in part due to the negativity surrounding the previous name.
“The name substance abuse carried a bad stigma with it,” he said. “It’s hard to feel good when you tell yourself you are going to substance abuse class. It sounds much better to mention the positive aspects: prevention and recovery.”

It’s All About Me:
A Numunuu Children’s Exhibit opens March 18th
(March 8, 2010) Lawton, Oklahoma – The Comanche National Museum and Cultural Center presents It’s All About Me: A Numunuu Children’s Exhibit, on display March 18 – August 31, 2010. The public is invited to attend the opening reception on March 18th from 1:06 p.m. to 3:06 p.m. Light refreshments will be served.
It’s All About Me: A Numunuu Children’s Exhibit is an art and photography show featuring the works of Comanche children. In the summer of 2009, the museum staff challenged a group of children with the task of capturing everyday Comanche life. Twenty six children accepted the challenge and spent a portion of their summer snapping photographs which will be used in this exhibit. In addition to the photos, a variety of art mediums will also be displayed. All works were created by Comanche children ages eighteen and younger.
“The only requirement for this show was that the artist had to be enrolled member of the Comanche Nation,” said Phyllis Wahahrockah-Tasi, Museum Director. “There are some very talented young people among the Comanche Nation. This is a great opportunity to highlight their talents.”
A variety of Comanche toys, children’s regalia and baby quilts will also be on exhibit.
The Comanche National Museum is located at 701 NW Ferris Avenue, Lawton, Oklahoma, behind McMahon Auditorium. Hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturdays, 10:00 a.m. to 2 p.m. Admission is free.
