What will be an ideal response?
The ideal answer should include:
- Acquisition of horses: in the early eighteenth century from Spanish colonists in New Mexico, both by trading and raiding
- Impact of horse on Indian lifestyles: easier to exploit buffalo herds, which resulted in a more productive economy; Plains Indians built distinctive and elaborate nomadic cultures, resulting in larger numbers of Indian peoples moving onto the plains
- Frontier interactions: distinctive warrior culture created as colonial invasions from Canada and the Spanish borderlands increased
