Canoe Indian World
What is the sport that the "World's Most Interesting Man" is playing in the newest Dos Equis commercial?
He's using a curved racquet - it almost looks like a canoe. I want to say that it's an Indian sport? I believe the commercial started airing in April 2009.
Pelota (Jai Alai is a derivative) - you will have seen the basket propulsor being used!
Pelota in Spanish, pilota in Basque and Catalan, or pelote in French (from Latin pila) is a name for a variety of court sports played with a ball using one's hand, a racket, a wooden bat (Argentine paleta and pala corta), or a basket propulsor, against a wall (frontón in Spanish, pilotaleku or pilota plaza in Basque, frontó in Catalan) or, more traditionally, with two teams face to face separated by a line on the ground or a net. Their roots can be traced to the Greek and other ancient cultures, but in Europe they all derive from real tennis (see Jeu de Paume)[citation needed].
Today, Basque Pelota is widely played in several countries: in Spain and France, especially in the Basque Country and its neighbour areas. Also the sport is played in Latin American countries such as Argentina, Chile, Cuba, Mexico, Perú and Uruguay. Operated as a gaming enterprise called Jai Alai, it is seen in parts of the U.S. such as Florida

| | Canoe $70.1 A canoe is a small narrow boat, typically humanpowered, though it may also be powered by sails or small electric or gas motors. Canoes usually are pointed at both bow and stern and are normally open on top, but can be decked over. In its humanpowered form, the canoe is propelled by the use of paddles, usually with two people. Paddlers face in the direction of travel, either seated on supports in the hull, or kneeling directly upon the hull. Paddling can be contrasted with rowing, where the rowers usually face away from the direction of travel and use mounted oars (though a wide canoe can be fitted with oarlocks and rowed). Paddles may be singlebladed or doublebladed. The oldest recovered canoe in the world is the canoe of Pesse (the Netherlands). According to n4 dating analysis it was constructed somewhere between 8200 and 7600 BC. This canoe is exhibited in the Drents Museum in Assen, Netherlands.

| | Travels in a Stone Canoe (Paperback) $34.8 In this luminous story, two journalists from National Geographic on assignment in Indian Country cross an invisible boundary between two worlds, two different visions of reality -- and find their lives transformed. In a stunning and probing narrative -- part adventure tale, part reflection and epiphany -- the authors of Wisdomkeepers embark on a dramatic "spirit journey" into the living wisdom of Native American spiritual elders. When, nearly twenty years ago, a darkly enigmatic Cherokee herbalist approached Harvey Arden and Steve Wall with the proposition that they join him in a study of the lives, wisdom, and spiritual practices of Native America`s fast-disappearing "Old Ones," the veteran writer and photographer found themselves thrust, despite their own hard-nosed skepticism, onto a mystic "path of the Wisdomkeepers." After receiving "signs" foretold by the Cherokee, they set off on a journey of spiritual discovery through another world, called Great Turtle Island, where the Old Ones -- the Wisdomkeepers of aboriginal culture in North America -- bestowed upon them piece by surprising piece a set of "rules for being human" called "Original Instructions." Arden and Wall eventually left their Geographic careers and journalism altogether, and in 1990 produced an interim report on their spirit journey, their now-classic international bestseller Wisdomkeepers: Meeting with Native American Spiritual Elders. In that book they recalled, "We went out two journalists after a good story. We came back two `runners` from another world, carrying an urgent message from the Wisdomkeepers. This book is that message." Now, in Travels in a Stone Canoe, that message is further deepened and elaborated as the authors reveal the intensely personal story behind -- and beyond -- their journey to the Wisdomkeepers. A final, incandescent chapter, "Original Instructions," sums up the transforming and highly practical wisdom they foun |

Canoe Way: The Sacred Journey
If America had never been settled and Indians still ruled the land...?
Do you think they would still be smoking peyote, building tepees and canoes, and hunting down animals with spears while the rest of the world was as technologically advanced as it is now? You know, since that's where they were at when the rest of the world had buildings, advanced weaponry, ships, world maps, and the wheel.
I mean, they really weren't doing much to advance their civilization, so how much more advanced do you think they'd be today?
Oh my GOD! The first thing that popped into my head when i saw this question was...hahah peyote!! lmao
& sure enough that's the first thing you mention. LMFAO.
SORRY...i just HAD to comment on that! lol 
But mannn, i don't know...that's an interesting question...makes you wonder. lol
