Travois worked well enough, low tech, and easily repaired or refreshed. Varied terrian didn’t hamper the travois too much. Dogs could even pull them. Man or beast could be rigged. I often why the Mormons used clumsy carts when a travois would have met their meager requirements.

Hillsborough County, Florida, Board of Commissioners passed an ordinance preventing the public works department from installing speed humps for traffic calming on local residential streets, which impatient drivers had turned into short cuts to avoid traffic lights and other impediments to their driving at high speed to their destination. It seems the county attorneys got the idea that speed humps could be considered nuisances and actionable offenses. And that the County could be liable for accidents and damage to vehicles resulting from their installation. Hillsborough County has tons of speed humps which were installed at county expense over the past 30 years and they continue to be effective traffic calming devices. Today however if a subdivision or community needs traffic calming, they would have to pay for the cost of the traffic study and the construction of the humps ($7,000 each) themselves, even though they are installed on county streets. So San Francisco isn’t the only place where laws have been turned upside down and where private property rights are seen as an evil by governing left-wing idiots who steal money from middle class taxpayers, yet return nothing of value to those same middle class communities.
Next of the chopping block will be Thanksgiving.
They should rename the city since it comes from European explorers. Or tear down the city completely. Why is the SF Board so hypocritical?
Columbus appears to have done some horrible things.
But so did Indigenous Peoples.
Good let them all waller in filth and liberal progressive utopian dreams
Clarence Thomas was right; there is nothing that binds us together as a country. The left has spent the last 50 years dismantling the WASP culture of the Founding Fathers; as a Catholic I understood the value of that culture in this country.
Elites don’t know how to deal with a population that has lost faith in just about every institution; they know it resulted in Trump’s election, and are determined to prevent a repeat of that. In the meantime, I don’t consider most the people I deal with every day as my “countrymen”; we’ve been divided along enough fault lines (race, gender, faith, language, cats or dogs) that any attempt at finding common ground is futile - exactly as intended. This gives inordinate power to smaller tight groups.
Wheels make it easier to move things even if a man is pulling it. Even after horses were available and Indians saw whites using the wheel, they still used supported drags instead.

Oxen were strong but slow. Horses could plow 2 to 3 times as much as an ox—after the horse collar was invented. Don’t thing the Indians picked up on the concept until they were permanently on the reservations.
What do you do on White People Suck Day if you don’t have much melanin? Self flagellation? Jumping off freeway bridges?
More like San Fran-feces. The $h!th01€ that it is...

Does that man the indigenous people were the cause of their own downfall?
So what? Those dufus don’t have the authority to change a National holiday.
They should be ridiculed and ignored
