 SB> I've heard that the Indians in Central America were the greatest
 SB> agriculturalists in the world at the time Columbus started stealing

 Yes, growing different colors of cotton, for example.
 SB> Of course that doesn't say anything about the plains Indians.  Many of

 SB> oral history records of having made that choice.
 
 Yes.
