Rocky Mountain PBS published a video to its YouTube channel compiling the research archaeologists have done in the last few decades that has changed what was previously thought and taught about the history of horses in North America. <The accepted account of the human-horse alliance may have been mistold for centuries,= the video narrator begins. <European settler histories tell the story of how Spaniards introduced domesticated horses to what the conquistadors considered 8the new world,9 but many Indigenous oral traditions tell of their people riding horses long before meeting the Spanish newcomers.= What has been widely written in history books and taught in schools says Native Americans acquired horses decades after the Pueblo Revolt of the late 1600s, where the Pueblo people rebelled against the Spanish colonizers. During that connict, the theory is the Spanish horses got loose and were then recaptured and used by the Native people. However, this theory comes from white, male anthropologists who cast the European settlers as the main characters in the story. <The archaeological evidence seems to start to suggest the Indige- nous people had horses well before the Pueblo Revolt,= archaeologist and Pawnee Nation Tribal member Carlton Shield Chief Gover says. Many horse bones have been restudied in the last few decades us- ing better technology that has identioed horses can be traced back to Native territories, pre-Spanish contact, with bone markings that indicate they were ridden and tethered. Not only are the bones telling a different story, the documents share connicting accounts. <We have Spanish documents from 1637 talking about a battle between the Spanish and mounted Ute Indians,= Ethno-Historian Celinda Reynolds Kaelin says. According to the Rocky Mountain PBS video, new scientioc evidence is leaning more toward Native Americans using domesticated horses before the Spanish arrived. Many Natives were told to have a min- imum of three horses: a war horse, a hunting horse and a traveling horse. A large shift in this theory partly comes from oral stories told by Native people. Many Tribes, especially in plateau areas, have long shared stories of having horses before the Spanish showed up. <I think we are quite late to the party in recognizing that good sci- ence requires diversity,= the Curator of Archaeology at the University of Colorado at Boulder William Tayor says. <It requires Native archae- ologists leading the charge because we are now seeing science and the Indigenous perspective often are converging on the same story.= You can watch the entire video on the history of horses in North America at www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGki2EwrbkA or ond it in the Smoke Signals <Watchlist= playlist. þ 1848 1857 1860 1861 1862 Position Title Posted May 26, 2023 (Editor9s note: It is estimated that there are approximately 149 billion videos on YouTube, and the number continues to grow.
