How Appaloosa Horses Keep Nez Perce Traditions Alive

[@natalievandenberg2222]

So grateful for these beautiful traditions of this land, as a multi generational immigrant

[@AnastasiaRomanov-w9x]

I had an Appaloosa. He was a fabulous jumper.

[@Angeloflight1415_LastelleCrea]

I've never been a horse lover but after riding them as part of a therapy program, I appreciate them now and do find them to be beautiful. 💗

[@natalievandenberg2222]

Grew up with Shetland ponies and I find horses so therapeutic!! Just their smell makes me feel happy!!

[@Nancy-mi3xe]

Beautiful...The horses, the girls, the fact that you can still have your traditions...I'm happy for you.

That kid is 100% correct, they look so cool.

Was just coming to comment this same thing. I also think she doesn’t know how to verbalize the emotions so she goes with the coolest word. Cool. And it sure is

Appaloosa horse's are the very best. Love this breed.

My mother passed this down to me, as her mother to her. She was born in Emmett Idaho. Chief Joseph we live on!

[@Kevin12321]

That young girl probably can’t grasp just how cool that is yet. Or the emotion tied to it. Bc there’s a lot of pride, history, love, pain, sorrow, loss and devastation in those threads. Wish we had a time machine.

Breathtaking beauty!!! I’m literally crying😭 The culture. The people. The horses. All so wonderful. If only I could go back in time, I’d change SO many things!😔

[@2bRealist]

The culture?? Horses were not part of our native culture. They too were something brought over by the European invaders of that time. Fun Fact O_o

[@readytogo6569]

@@2bRealist The horses became a very important part of their culture.

[@2bRealist]

@@readytogo6569 Yes they did, as so many other things did as well... but it became a part of OUR culture as Americans in general, not just us native-Americans. There is so much to OUR ACTUAL Native-American culture. I just wish they would have done a story on that, if putting emphasis on Native culture was the goal of this story. I'm a descendant of the Karankawa people.. our tribe and culture was completely wiped out. I didn't even know the name of the tribe until my adult years. (US Gov. had as enrolled as Comanche along with all other people of smaller tribes of Texas that they didn't know what to do with) Now I'm trying to play catch up.... but may never really know or understand it.. which is sad. Still, we all have an American Culture that we all share as US Americans. Horses, and Horse-Riding is definitely part of that ;-)

[@Lost_Hwasal]

That is beautiful. Even though some have tried to erase our traditions we should hold on to them tightly. We can't let them take away who we are.

[@drrd4127]

You do know there were zero horses in America before the Europeans arrived! If it's tradition, it's not a very long one.

[@azabey7004]

Recently the breed appaloosa has been found in Kyrgyzstan as well. Scientists from USA has come and took the DNA test. Turns out the appaloosa horse from Kyrgyzstan and from the USA are one breed. So I have noticed that the ornaments of the clothes of these people and the ornaments that we use to decorate our carpet called "tush kiyiz" look similar. So why don't we compare the DNA and language of Kyrgyz people and these aboriginal people?

[@MoviesSam]

How do I pronounce Nez Perce correctly ?

[@reynaldoflores4522]

Is appaloosa same as pinto ?

Crazy horse who helped 'man' hunt tonka. Is horsemanship cruel? Not really. I've been homeless for quite some time and when my hands get cold in winter, I've found that the warmest place is my back. Riding a horse in winter warms the rider and ALSO warms the horse. A little symbiotic.

[@wolfhors3_660]

Horses came to North America from europe brought by the Spanish conquistadors in the late 1400s

[@azabey7004]

No, Spain doesn't have such horses, the horses came from Kyrgyzstan (central Asia) to the North America via the Bering bay in winter while there is an ice on the water, so the ice served as a bridge. Because recently they found appaloosa horses in our country, the scientists came from USA and took DNA analysis and turned out that the appaloosa from Kyrgyzstan and from the USA have the same DNA

[@wolfhors3_660]

@azabey7004 wow, that's cool. I have always been taught and have seen information that horses were brought by the Europeans or the Spanish. Even now I still find articles and information that native Americans got their horses from the Spanish and did not have a horse culture before that.

[@natalievandenberg2222]

@@azabey7004the land bridge was 20 000 years ago so it has been separate fro a very long time!! Until the Spanish landed in the Caribbean 500 years ago. There is recent archaeology showing that not only the horse, also the camel, came from this part of the world (turtle island/americas) and migrated, probably with humans, over the land bridge and went back and forth regularly

[@azabey7004]

@natalievandenberg2222 probably you don't know about the Bering Strait, between USA and Eurasia there's only 86km and in winter there is an ice on the water the ice served as a bridge

[@wolfhors3_660]

@azabey7004 nope, I know all that stuff. My point is that if you Google it the info you still get is the Spanish brought horses to the native Americans. Maybe they just brought the practice of riding horses rather than the horses themselves.

[@2bRealist]

Yes... and brought over from Europe. The natives learned to tame and ride them as well soon after.

[@rasmusn.e.m1064]

Yes, as we all know, the Mongolians conquered basically all of Asia on foot.🤣

[@PahaPoniesSpanishMustangs]

Technically they are originated in north America. Domestication took place supposedly in Eurasia. Devils advocate... there is no way to prove that there were not horses here in continuation. Unlikely yes, but there really is no way to thoughoughly prove something didn't exist in the past.

[@drrd4127]

The species brought to America were indeed European but the Middle east also had horses.
