How did the North American Indians carry their possessions?

The original inhabitants of America frequently lived in the prairies. Since there were no roads on the prairie, vehicles with wheels could not be used easily. In addition, the wheel came to the American continent only with the vehicles of the European settlers. The native Indians used a travois for transportation: a triangle made of two long rods tied at one end and with a crossbar at the other end. Over this a piece of leather of fabric was stretched to carry load. For centuries, Indian women or dogs pulled these vehicles. Later, the horses introduced by the Europeans took over this job.
