![]() The results line up with a wide range of Indigenous oral histories. Groups like the Comanche, in other words, may have begun to form deep bonds with horses mere decades after the animals arrived in the Americas on Spanish boats. Based on the team's calculations, Indigenous communities were likely riding and raising horses as far north as Idaho and Wyoming by at least the first half of the 17th Century - as much as a century before records from Europeans had suggested. The researchers drew on archaeozoology, radiocarbon dating, DNA sequencing and other tools to unearth how and when horses first arrived in various regions of today's United States. "We're looking at parts of the country that are extraordinarily important to the people on this project," he said. "Focusing only on the historical record has underestimated the antiquity and the complexity of Indigenous relationships with horses across a huge swath of the American West."įor many of the scientists involved, the research holds deep personal significance, added Taylor, who grew up in Montana where his grandfather was a rancher. "What unites everyone is the shared vision of telling a different kind of story about horses," said William Taylor, a corresponding author of the study and curator of archaeology at the CU Museum of Natural History. The researchers come from 15 countries and multiple Native American groups, including the Lakota, Comanche and Pawnee nations. To tell the stories of horses in the West, the team closely examined about two dozen sets of animal remains found at sites ranging from New Mexico to Kansas and Idaho.

She began editing the TTS service when it was inaugurated in 1952. She joined United Press in Milwaukee the same year and transferred to Chicago in 1946, working as a reporter and editor. She began her journalism career with the Appleton Post-Crescent in 1941 at the wage of 30 cents an hour and became a general reporter for the Milwaukee Journal in 1944. ![]() 'She also could be a most thoughtful and considerate person, a real contradiction,' Bogue said.Ī native of Little Chute, Miss Heesakker attended Ripon College and earned a bachelor of journalism degree from Marquette University in Milwaukee in 1943.
