Before Columbus

Tweet

I watched this documentary about two years ago. I had posted this on Bubblews. I found this a very interesting doc. It is funny the things we don't realize that Brits brought with them when they came over here. And, cool to think about the amount of game and animals that were here and sad that some are so depleted now. ************************************ There was a documentary called Before Columbus on National Geographic. It was very interesting to look at what America was like before immigrants started to moving over here. They brought potatoes, fruit trees alot of diceases and the horse to name just a few when they came. Before Columbus discovered America in 1492 the continent's landlords were different tribes of Native American Indians such as the Nez Perce, Comanches, Cheyene, Shoshoni, Sioux, Pawnee, Navaho, Arapaho, Crow, Kiowa- Apache, and Blackfoot. Before he did so there were millions of bison on the continent. Can you imagine? The indians burned the plains to make it easier for them to hunt. While in England only nobels could hunt for meat. The poor commoner was left to eat alot of fish. I found this to be a very intreresting show.
