IE "Urheimat" and evidence from Uralic linguistics

[Rick Mc Callister]

	The Dakota mirgation was triggered by European technology in that
the Ojibway acquired firearms from the French and used them to expel the
Dakota from the NW Great Lakes area. Like the Comanches, later Dakota
expansion was based on their skill in using horses for hunting and warfare
--another mirgation triggered by European colonization
