The correct answer to this open question is the following.

What Thoreau means when he writes "we do not ride on the railroad; it rides upon us" is that we are becoming more dependent on technology.

It is great that technology has changed every aspect of our lives if we use it with moderation and for work or improving our life conditions, That is great. But there is also a negative side to it. It is absorbing most of the time in people's lives with simple and evasive entertainment that does not give people something substantial. And at the same time, people are losing personal touch with family and friends. They are not having quality time with their loved ones.

Thanksgiving - Wampanoag: Thanksgiving is a popular holiday in the United States. But before the Europeans came, the Wampanoags were doing Thanksgiving beforehand, and ate dishes that we still eat on Thanksgiving today; cornbeard, turkey, dressing, cranberry sauce, etc.

Hockey - Sauk, Foxes and Assiniboine: Hovkey was originally called "Shinny", and was played with a ball made of buckskin and a curved stick. Unlike in the modern world, you can play either floor hockey or ice hockey, these Native American groups only played it in the winter.

Gumbo - Native American Choctaws: This is a very popular dish in the Southern states of America and escpecially in Lousiana. It was originally made from Native Americans, who shared the recipe with slaves and poor white farmers.

Hope this helps, have a blessed and wonderful day! :-)
