The Native American Horse



Native Americans of the Great Plains: "People of the Horse"


In the "Native Americans of the Great Plains: "People of the horse"  by National Geographic, I learned that the native Americans were introduced to horses and that the horses were the best thing that happened to the native Americans because the horses helped so much. 
In the 1600s Spanish invaders brought horses to the Americans for the first time. They became skilled warriors. U.S Amy groups destroyed the native American groups by, burning teepees, destroying food, taking blankets, and capturing more than 1,000 of their horses. The Comanches walked 200miles after the groups got destroyed and then they surrendered. There is a traditional rodeo in Oregon for the native Americans they do, racing, dancing, and a grand parade.


I think think this is important for my classmates because they get to learn about the Native Americans and why they used horses so much.

Talking to your pet is not wacky; it's good for your health By  Jayne O'Donnell, USA Today, adapted by Newsela staff 05/27/2019 In the article "Talking to your pet is not wacky; it's good for your health" written by Jayne O'Donnell, Newsela staff talks about how talking to your animals isn't as wacky and weird as some people think it is. I read today on how some people actually buy animals for health reasons, I learned that being lonely is as dangerous as smoking 15 cigarets a day. Nancy Gee says that showing a picture of your dog to other people, also telling your animals how your day was and what’s wrong is actually very normal and healthy. It’s also easier because you aren’t gettin judged for your beliefs, your problems, and friendship issues. A great gift that animals teach us is that we can be loved and our animals will love us unconditionally. I think this article is very important because it shows the rea
