I vaguely remember reading that the Native American tribes had domesticated dogs before the Spanish and other European explorers arrived, but I can’t seem to locate a cite. I know that horses and cattle were brough over from Europe, but wolves would have been around, at least in the northern parts of the New World.
I did find this on Wikipedia regarding the eating of dog meat, but that’s not quite the same thing…
Native Americans
"The traditional culture surrounding the consumption of dog meat varied from tribe to tribe among the original inhabitants of North America, with some tribes relishing it as a delicacy, and others (such as the Comanche) treating it as an abhorrent practice.[32] Native peoples of the Great Plains, such as the Sioux and Cheyenne, consumed it, but there was a concurrent religious taboo against the meat of wild canines.[33]
During their 1803–1806 expedition, Meriwether Lewis and the other members of the Corps of Discovery consumed dog meat, either from their own animals or supplied by Native American tribes, including the Paiutes and Wah-clel-lah Indians, a branch of the Watlatas,[34] the Clatsop,[35] the Teton Sioux (Lakota),[36] the Nez Perce Indians,[37] and the Hidatsas.[38] Lewis and the members of the expedition ate dog meat, except William Clark, who reportedly could not bring himself to eat dogs.[39]
The Kickapoo people include puppy meat in many of their traditional festivals.[40] This practice has been well documented in the Works Progress Administration “Indian Pioneer History Project for Oklahoma.”
So is it in fact true that Native Americans had domesticated the wolf, and is there a cite I can trust that says it is?
