Best Answer

Some Native American tribes got along well with the Mormon pioneers and others did not. For the most part, the Native Americans were willing to help the pioneers because they too had be driven from their homelands. A pretty large Native American population was baptized into the Mormon Church, and today outreach among Native Americans continues.

Because so many Mormons crossed the plains from 1847 to 1868 (about 70,000) they helped create business along the trail where people could buy and sell things.

Did the Mormons travel on horse back or wagon?

Both! Mormons (members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) travel any way they can. The Pioneers crossed the plains on horseback, in wagons, on oxen, on foot... some even pulled carts by themselves because they couldn't afford wagons! Now, Mormons continue to travel however they can, train, car, bus, plane, bicycle, horse, boat... you name it they do it!
