Join Carlton Shield Chief Gover, Assistant Curator of Archaeology and Assistant Professor of Anthropology at the University of Kansas, for an enlightening discussion on the reintroduction of horses into the Central Great Plains. Traditional narratives have long held that the adoption of European horses by the Great Plains Nations stemmed from Spanish contact and the Pueblo Revolts of 1680. However, Indigenous oral traditions offer a different perspective, suggesting the acquisition of horses without Spanish involvement. Explore groundbreaking research conducted in collaboration with Indigenous communities and discover how innovative approaches have "bucked" the long-standing narrative, offering new insights into the history of horses in the Great Plains.
