“Professor Emeritus Gus Cothran, who holds one of the largest horse genetics databases in the country at Texas A&M University, contends that while Ojibwe horses are a breed developed by Indigenous people in Canada, their roots are not native to Canada. “They are derived from horses that Europeans brought to North America. They did not originate in North America as a distinct strain of horse,” Gus says, classifying them as a mix of Spanish mustang and Canadian horses originally from France.”
