Chapter 47 (1/2)

Historically, before white Europeans entered the North American continent, there were more than 60 million bison in the continent. Before the Americans began to march westward in the early 19th century, there were still more than ten million bison in the whole North American continent, which was the largest mammal in the North American continent and provided enough meat for millions of North American Indians.

It can be said that bison plays an irreplaceable role in the life of North American Indians.

In fact, many tribes of North American Indians have worshipped bison since ancient times. Even if they hunt and kill bison, strip off the skin of bison to make clothes, tents, rafts for crossing rivers or fishing, eat the belly of bison, use the bone to make weapons, bone knives, even pipes, and use the tendon to make bowstring, the North American Indians still worship bison very much.

It is because bison is so important to North American Indians that many North American Indian tribes regard bison as an animal symbol of the power of the sun.

But in the past, these Indians only knew how to hunt bison, but they never thought about taming bison. The same is true of gaoshu tribe.

Because they are located in the southeast of North America, they don't worship bison as much as the Indian tribes living in the Midwest prairie, but the people of the gaoshu tribe don't think much of bison.

However, when the stone bear said the importance of taming bison, whether it is Lilei or Hongyun, he immediately realized the more important significance of bison.

One of the most important significance is that groups of tamed bison can be used as weapons, and they are also the kind of weapons that make the enemy unstoppable. This is simply too important.

There are great differences in social systems between North American Indians and central and South American Indians. In central and South America, Indians have formed a civilization and a country, living far better than their compatriots on the North American continent.

But in North America, hundreds and thousands of Indian tribes follow the cruel laws of the jungle. Because of this fierce competition, the Indians of the North American continent never formed a unified civilization and regime.

Here, big fists are the hard truth!

The Cherokees lived well in the Great Lakes, and even were members of the Iroquois League. But it was because their fists were smaller than others that other tribes drove the Cherokees away without saying a word.

”If our ancestors could tame these bison and form hundreds of bison herds, who would be afraid of the Iroquois and the delavais! Even now, as long as we can master a domesticated herd of bison, we are not afraid that all the chekasa are here! ”

Li Lei and Gao Niu look at each other and find the meaning in each other's eyes.

”No other tribe can know the secret of cattle training!”

Their eyes changed again, but they both understood the meaning of each other's eyes again.

Shi Xiong didn't have the heart to guess what they thought. He tossed all day. To be honest, he was a little tired, so he planned to go back and have an early rest.

The dinner in the evening surprised the stone bear a little. It turned out to be a long lost corn pumpkin porridge.

However, it's no wonder that the history of corn cultivation in North America is much earlier than that in the old world, and pumpkin is also the origin of America,

It's the hunter's moon in the East Cherokee custom, but as the moon turns round, beaver's moon is coming.
