Many considered horses a source of power and social activity, as well as pride and prestige within Canada (Hedley, 1988). Horses enabled mechanization of many agrarian tasks and changed the way many farmers and other rural citizens underwent daily living. Researchers have continually explored the ways horses have transformed society both from a cultural and environmental standpoint.
Significance of Study
Hedley (1988) points out that it is vital to understand the extend and ways the "practices of agrarian households are constrained through their involvement in commodity" and through the emergence of new tools or practices (p. 67). Many people fail to realize the significance of seemingly small events such as the arrival of horses into agrarian lifestyles and rural developments in the 1800s.
At present there is relatively little research that has been conducted related to the impact the arrival of horses have had not only on farm households but also rural developments in general during the early 1800s and beyond. This paper will examine the impacts the arrival of the horses had on social existence and on productive processes so that researchers can better appreciate the relevance on history this change resulted in.
Discussion/Conclusions
Martin (1995) suggests that historians have two tasks, one to describe and one to explain. The purpose of this research analysis is to help describe and explain an overlooked yet valuable aspect of Canadian history.
Without adequately understanding the history...
Historically researchers have had difficulty uncovering evidence prior to the Confederation, making this task overwhelmingly difficult in some respects (Martin, 1005). However it is vital that researchers continue to explore accurate historical facts to assess how it is that society came to be the way it is today. There are relatively few works that discuss Canada pre-Confederation or before 1867 (Martin, 1995). Hopefully this research will fill some of the gap that currently exists with regard to the research and help enlighten the general public about the contributions the Canadian Horse has made to society in the past and present.

Many also subscribe to religious beliefs according to which various gods created other animal species for human consumption and which fundamentally distinguish human life and animal life predicated on the religious belief that we are different in kind rather than merely in degree. Contrary to the beliefs of the radical fringe of the animal rights movement, that moral burden does not require that we all become vegetarians to avoid eating
Crazy Horse and the Western Hero Crazy Horse, believed born sometime in 1838, was a respected member of the Oglala Sioux Native American tribe and is noted for his courage in battle.

Background) However, a major limitation of the initiative was that the UN force was limited to self-defense, which resulted in it being infective and virtually ignored by the various warlords in the regions. The United States also attempted to intervene and manage the conflict. To this end the U.S. organized a military coalition with the purpose of, "...creating a secure environment in southern Somalia for the
Epidemics and Smallpox in Colonial America In 1992, the Smithsonian Museum held an exhibit on the process of exchanges between the Old World and the New World that resulted from the explorations of Christopher Columbus. The exhibit, entitled Seeds of Change, focused on five catalysts or "seeds" which had the most far-reaching consequences for both Europe and the new colonies in the Americas. These catalysts were the horse, sugar, the potato, corn
And farther west on the Great Plains were the Teton Sioux, among them the Oglalas, whose chief was Red Cloud, and among the Hunkpapas, was Sitting Bull, who together with Crazy Horse of the Oglalas, would make history in 1876 at Little Big Horn (Brown 10). After years of broken promises, conflicts and massacres, came the Treaty of Fort Laramie, said to be the most important document in the history
