Born and raised in Fort Worth, Lance Tahmahkera has been with Texas Health Harris Methodist Fort Worth for the past 37 years and is currently, the Imaging Department Manager at TH Harris Methodist Outpatient Center – Burleson.
Tahmahkera is a great-great grandson of Comanche Chief, Quanah Parker. With his parents staying close to the Comanche traditions, much of his youth was spent at pow-wows and learning stories of about ancestors and tribal ways.
For the past 20-plus years, he’s been asked to share those stories with various schools, groups and organizations. The stories vary from the origins of the tribe, life on the plains and reservation, Cynthia Ann and Quanah Parker to current day events. Also shared are children stories that were passed down through the family.
