    I've always had an affinity to horses. But never had the chance to own one. I don't know how ride a horse. On two occasion I slide off the horse because I never learn to ride. Yet, my love and respect in me is deep for the horse. I once had a chance to see horses in the wild in Northern Nevada. I just love see them run wild.

    I kinda have to laugh at how people talk when referring to natives. They Talk about how we are not gone, but act like they are giving a eulogy. Its important to speak of any culture with respect, however we are not gone we are not dead our culture, kids, traditions new and old, homes, lifestyle is still very much alive.
    I laugh anyway...(speak somberly) people (pause look down) talk of native people (pause, bow head) like we are dead.....

    Native americans had a practice that each person was raised and given the opportunity to succeed and be a good member and productive member of their society. Each given jobs and task based on their needs and capabilities, in comparison to today's age you most can't even afford a mode of transportation or vehicle, however back then every person had their own horses, jobs, houses or huts, were knowledgeable about self-sustainability. I'd say we disconnected from the true purpose and task given to us in which is to provide security for the people, in whatever means is necessary. Capitalism has ruined so many things in this country it's such a shame

    I have a theory that the Native Americans were originally from Arabia. Look at a map of Pangea and see how the continents used to fit together. See where northern Africa fits into the US? Now compare how the Arabs 'trill' just like the Native American. The western tribes were nomadic, living in tipis ( tents for Arabs) and the fringes on the garments. Horse culture for both. What do you think?

    • @Wildman-lc3ur

      Native Americans didn't originate in Arabia
      They originate in siberia and crossed the bering land bridge into Alaska 70,000 years ago with a possible second wave arriving 13,000 years ago. Native Americans share very similar DNA to that of east asians

P.S.-bone count in a site does not equate to extinction of a species. The plains bison was hunted too, and it was not until the Sharps buffalo rifle that near-extinction of the plains bison occurred-motivated by the desire to eliminate the plains Native American tribes.
