different Native American civilizations

living in different parts of what is now

America and each had their own culture

what's a culture let's see it's the

practices and beliefs and customs it's

also the language and the style of dress

and homes and art oh I get it it's like

and set them up somewhere else neat a

big part of western life revolved around

the cattle ranches cowboys stayed very

busy hurting cattle taming wild horses

and roping steers soon they were having

contests between themselves and the

rodeo was born texas is home to lots of

welcome first of all how old were you

when you first started riding uh I was 6

years old when I started competing and I

don't really remember the first time I

ever rode a horse what kind of riding

did you do at first um I started off uh

bearback riding cuz I was too little to

put a saddle on my horse and so when I

was big enough to put the saddle on my

horse and I started riding in a saddle

did you grow up on a ranch uh-huh i grew

up on a ranch and and I rode with my dad

and my sisters and we looked after the

cattle and all kinds of fun stuff tell

us about your horse um my horse's name

is Scamper he got his name because he's

campered around the barrels my dad

thought of his name um he's a brown

horse and he's 17 years old he's a great

horse i've won over a million dollars on

him and and he's a lot of fun he's

wonderful is your buckle one of the

things you want uh-huh i have 10 buckles

just like this and this is what we work

for all year long to try and win a gold

buckle at the end of the year can you

explain to us what barrel racing is

barrel racing is a timed event it's run

around three barrels in a cloverleaf

pattern uh it's timed with an electric

timer and when you cross the timer it

starts your timer when you cross back

over on the way when you're finished it

stops the time rodeo riders are really

strong how do you guys stay in shape uh

I stay in shape by riding and when we're

traveling we have to clean stalls and

carry water buckets and so I don't

eastern woodlands lived in dome-shaped

wigwams and carved birch bark canoes and

the number one most fascinating fact

develop were largely destroyed in 30

years of western

expansion chris did a real nice job with

that list what's next we have one last

song okay coming to the host in three

when the Wild West was being settled

farmers were able to buy lots and lots

of land for very little money so they

have these big farms and ranches far

video handled his loneliness by taking

in lots of pets and then he wasn't
