Native Americans and the Horse
by knannWhen we see pictures of Native Americans riding astride their horses its hard to imagine that it wasn't always this way. The horse lived in North America during prehistoric times, but became extinct there. It wasn't until European explorers, particularly the Spanish in the 16 th and 17 th centuries that the horse again was found in North America

Trail of Tears
by knannThe relocation of the Native Americans to the Oklahoma Territory that became known as "The Trail of Tears", "The Trail Where They Cried " ("Nunna daul Tsuny") by the Cherokee, represents one of the darkest and saddest episodes of American history. It is a tragic tale of force winning out over decency and power winning out over justice.
