Daily Question;

"At the time the first Europeans arrived, the Indians of the Great Plains between the Rocky mountains and the forested areas bordering on the Mississippi lived partly by corn culture but mostly by the buffalo on foot with bow and arrow. Although Europeans regarded all Indians as nomads (a convenient excuse for denying them the land they occupied), only the Plains Indian really were nomadic. Even they did not become so until about A.D 1550, when they began to break wild mustangs, offspring of European horses turned loose by the Spaniards."
