Unless you have a reason to know, you cannot imagine what a cat among the pigeons this study is. Finding proof that indigenous stories have been right all along is a pie in the face to the Bureau of Land Management that oversees wild horses and reservations. The 2nd interesting bit is that Plains tribes have prophecies that the white invaders will destroy the world in 7 generations, unless the native horses are restored/preserved. This is the 7th generation since those prophecies.
Landmark study on history of horses in American West relies on Indigenous knowledge
