Answer: the ability to abandon permanent villages and travel over the Great Plains to hunt bison

Step-by-step explanation:

The most important change horses brought to these tribes was the ability to abandon permanent villages and travel over the Great Plains to hunt bison. Before the horse, few tribes settled or traveled outside major river valleys because of the enormous distances involved, and the difficulty of hunting bison on foot.
