A cowboy is the name commonly used in North America for a herdsman . In other regions of the New World they are called gauchos , huasos , charros

or vaqueiros. The main time of the cowboys began after 1865 when huge, overgrown cattle herds in Texas

had to be rounded up and ended around 1880.

The German term " Indian " goes back to the Spanish word indio, a neologism from the colonial era . The American Indian population is very unevenly distributed, with several thousand reservations being made. Most of the Indians in Central and South America do not live in reserves.
