Carlton shares how Pawnee oral traditions align with archaeological evidence, revealing new insights into the transitions from hunter-gatherer to agricultural societies. The conversation expands into how the reintroduction of horses revolutionized Plains warfare, movement, and culture — transforming not just how people traveled, but how they defined bravery, honor, and trade. The episode then dives underwater — literally — as Carlton recounts his work with the Indiana University Underwater Science Program in the Dominican Republic. From Spanish shipwrecks to 400-year-old hazelnuts used to fight scurvy, the discussion highlights how horses, colonization, and trade converged across continents and oceans.","meta_description":"In this third installment of the “Horse Series,” David sits down with Dr. Carlton Shield Chief Gover to explore the intersections of Indigenous oral tradi…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":2833,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/ethnocynology-with-david-ian-howe-7030895/episodes/horses-part-3-the-pawnee-the-plains-and-the-spanish-caribbean-with-dr-carlton-shield-chief-gover-ep-26/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/ethnocynology-with-david-ian-howe-7030895/horses-part-3-the-pawnee-the-plains-and-the-spanish-caribbean-with-dr-carlton-shield-chief-gover-ep-26.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
