When the group was ready to move on, they took apart their tipis to bring with them. The tipi's wooden poles and buffalo hide could be made into a sort of "moving van" called a travois. The travelers packed all their belongings on the travois, a type of sled pulled by dogs and later by horses.
Used to move goods over long distance when you had no wheels. The arrangement of wooden poles attached to the horse in the photo above is a travois. It drags on the ground, but is less work than carrying the load.
