There currently are about 9.2 million horses in North America. They are widespread with many breeds and disciplines that each horse fits into. Horses did not always inhabit North America as they do now. Roughly four hundred years ago the horse made it to America through Spanish soldiers, also known as conquistadores. These conquistadores successfully conquered parts of Mexico and South America before traveling north to the southwestern portion of what is now today’s United States in the 1540’s in search of gold and other treasures. As the conquistadores traveled they came in contact with a few different Native American groups. They tried hard to convert these new people to Roman Catholicism, which was the Spanish religion.

The Shawnee tribe originated from the Ohio River Valley, but were forced out supposedly by Iroquois in the 1600s, and spread out to Pennsylvania, Illinois, or even as far as Maryland or Georgia. As time passed and Iroquois power weakened, the Shawnee were able to return to their home, only to be pushed out once more by white settlers. During the American Revolution, the Shawnee fought with the British against the colonists in hopes to keep their land and have the colonists removed. Following the war, the SHawnee

Native American tribes have been used, abused, and decimated throughout history, and it all started with European contact. The Chumash are a group of Native Americans that are located in the California culture area. They are one of the more peaceful Native American tribes, and one of the largest. They had unique subsistence strategies and food reliance because of their location, which was basically in between the coast and inland California. Prehistoric Chumash territory was very vast, and was significantly reduced during European contact. European contact decimated the Chumash very similarly to the way it decimated many other tribes like through disease and assimilation practices. Aside, from all that the Chumash have a very fascinating culture

When comparing the Southwest indians to the Eastern Woodlands indians I found there were some differences, in their homes, the indians in the Southwest had hut like homes made of stone or adobe while indians in the Eastern Woodlands had lodge like homes made from wood. Farming and hunting seemed to be big for the Eastern Woodlands, but most of the Southwest people were just gatherers and hunters when they could be, although there were some successful farmers. Both areas had hostile groups of people, but the two groups in the Southwest later became more settled and peaceful. The Eastern Woodlands and the Great Plains had a few differences, again their homes being one of them.
Between 1830 and 1850, the Chickasaw, Choctaw, Muscogee, Creek, Seminole and Cherokee peoples were forced to leave their homelands to relocate further west. The Cherokee Nation removal in 1838 (the last forced removal east of the Mississippi) was brought on by the discovery of gold near Dahlonega, Georgia, in 1829, resulting in the Georgia Gold Rush.1 During the Trail of Tears (1838-1839), the Cherokee tribes were moved to the Indian Territory, near the Ozarks.

There, all the people were named “Senecas” and eventually renamed the “Senecas of Sandusky.” A treaty with the United States in 1818 left the Mixed Band of Senecas and Shawnees with land removal in Ohio. In 1831, a treaty with the United States led the Senecas of Sandusky to sell their land in Ohio and move to a reserve, which neighbored the northern boundary of the Cherokee Nation in Indian Territory.
