This is an interesting article, with a lot to think about.

I especially like the idea that rather than having domesticated deer, The Duhare might have had simply and northern European goat that LOOKS rather like a deer.
"The Spanish soldiers may have observed Chamoisee dairy goats being herded and milked. The goats of Spain are descended from a short wild goat with curly hair called a capra prisca. The wild Chamois goat of northern Europe is similar in appearance and size to a North American white tail deer."
Interestingly, the author is a member of the Perdido Bay Creek Tribe, and is the Tribal Historic Preservation Officer for the KVWETV (Coweta) Creek Tribe.
