Did Indians up north hunt buffalo before Columbus brought horses back to North America?

Bruh you know Columbus never stepped foot on this continent right?

Yeah but in 1493, his ship brought horses to the Virgin Islands.

The Plains Indians actually didn’t inhabit the Great Plains before horses. They were recent adopters to that area after the Spanish arrived.

Do you know from which area they migrated?

Wut?

They were killing mammoths and mastodons 1000's of years before Europeans hit the beach. I doubt giant herds of bison were all that much of a challenge. Mainly, they just ran them off of cliffs.

They stampeded them over cliffs

Damn, brutal. I learned something new today.

North ain’t a place Newt. It’s a direction

Indians were on this piece of land we call America for centuries before ole Chris was even born

Yeah but, by most accounts, horses were absent from around 13,000 BC until Columbus. Although they really made their presence known after the Spanish ( I think ) brought them to Mexico around 1519.

Horses originated in North America, then went extinct on the continent.
Cortez brought them to Florida which is when they got back to North America.

Also, many ancient tribes ran animals to death. They would separate an animal from the herd then chase them until they died of exhaustion, or ran them off a cliff.

You can read Born to Run and they go into it how tribes run down animal.
