Question 1 • OK-Oklahoma History -CA- 37411A

How did horses significantly impact the lives of the Plains Indians?

Answer
A
Horses became a primary food source for the tribes.
B
Horses gave the tribes increased mobility, particularly during buffalo hunts.
C
Horses were used as beasts of burden and promoted agricultural development.
D
Horses contributed to increased economic development in the fur trade.

Explanation

Horses allowed Plains Indians to travel much farther and faster, especially across the open plains. This increased mobility made buffalo hunts more effective and helped communities move their camps to follow the herds. Horses were important for transport, but they were not a primary food source, and agriculture was not the main impact described here. The correct choice is “Horses gave the tribes increased mobility, particularly during buffalo hunts.”
