Butler (2206) suggests an evaluation instrument that directors of the Senior Companion Program (SCP) and other similar programs can use to collect data on the impact of their programs.

Plains Indians and Their Equine Companions Most history classes teach children about how the Spanish brought horses to America and introduced them to Native Americans.
