Indigenous people supercharged the early spread of horses across the Great Plains.
Indigenous knowledge and Western science have written a new tale about when horses most recently arrived in North America.
Europeans’ historical texts didn’t ring true for molecular archaeologist Yvette Running Horse Collin of the Center for Anthropobiology and Genomics of Toulouse in France. Running Horse Collin is a member of the Oglala Lakota Nation. Great Plains populations such as the Lakota and Comanche speak of having cared for, herded and otherwise interacted with horses long before Europeans showed up.
Rock art of an undetermined age at a Wyoming site depicts a horse and rider that researchers suspect was carved by ancestral Comanche or Shoshone people.What’s particularly important is that those finds yielded evidence of Native American groups caring for, riding and culturally embracing horses by the early 1600s, says archaeologist Mark Mitchell of the Paleocultural Research Group in Broomfield, Colo., who did not participate in the new study.
