Answer 1

Option: It allowed the Plains tribes to better hunt buffalo.

Step-by-step explanation:

After the discovery of America by Christopher Columbus in 1492, began the Columbian Exchange. During the Columbia Exchange, Spain introduced horses to the New World. Escaped horses spread in the Great Plains and helped the Native Indian in moving one place to another, also in hunting which changed their life. Horses spread to different tribes with horsemanship. The Plains Indians were hunters, and hunting was vital for the tribes. Earlier, they followed animal herds and hunted with bows and arrows by getting close to buffalo wearing wolf skins covering their bodies. Bison was the most important natural resource of the Plains Indians as it provided them with food, shelter, and clothing.
