Best Answer

Originally, they used small sledges called "travois", to carry objects. THese were pulled by dogs, since horses were not native to North America. (Horses arrived with the Spanish, and escaped horses formed packs and began to breed.)

Native Americans were quick to tame and domesticate the feral stocks.
