Answer 2

ANSWER: Students should start from the impact of the Little Ice Age, which curtailed agricultural production and increased the size of the buffalo herds. The result was that many Plains Indians abandoned agricultural villages and became mobile hunters. The buffalo became the center of Indian life by providing an abundance of food, clothing and tools to support tribal society. Better students will also note that Indian conflicts in the East were pushing tribes away from the Iroquois and Huron Indians, causing additional pressure on Plains Indian tribes over Buffalo hunting grounds. The lives of Plains Indians were dramatically changed when thousands of horses were released from Spanish New Mexico during the Pueblo Revolt. The Native Americans adapted to a horse culture, which greatly increased their ability to hunt and kill enormous quantities of Buffalo. It also led to increased raiding and trading for horses and horse related technologies, such as saddles, bridles, and ropes with the Spanish and other Indian tribes.
