The debate on whether horses were used by Native Americans
before or after Spanish contact is onally being answered. 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.=

America at www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGki2EwrbkA or ond it in
