'they saw the mighty beasts of the forrests, whose tread shook the earth."

Forum,
Was wat op het internet aan het opzoeken over indianen, de stammen etc en kwam dit tegen. Het betreft de Choctaw, om het kort te houden, een mogelijk mondelinge verwijzing naar mammoets etc, heb al meteen interesse in andere linguistieke/taal verwijzingen naar de prehistorie, ?Siberische eskimo's, wie weet, Aboriginals hebben al zeker verwijzingen naar prehistorische tijden in hun vertellingen.
Paleo-Indian period
Many thousands of years ago groups classified by anthropologists as Paleo-Indians lived in what today is referred to as the American South.[11] These groups were hunter-gatherers who hunted a wide range of animals, including a variety of megafauna, which became extinct following the end of the Pleistocene age.[11] The 19th-century historian Horatio Cushman noted that Choctaw oral history accounts suggested their ancestors had known of mammoths in the Tombigbee River area; this suggests that the Choctaw ancestors had been in the Mississippi area for at least 4,000–8,000 years.[12] Cushman wrote: "the ancient Choctaw through their tradition (said) 'they saw the mighty beasts of the forrests, whose tread shook the earth."[12] Scholars believe that Paleo-Indians were specialized, highly mobile foragers who hunted late Pleistocene fauna such as bison, mastodons, caribou, and mammoths. Direct evidence in the Southeast is meager, but archaeological discoveries in related areas support this hypothesis.[11]
