Main Way Of Travel- The Blackfoot Indians started using dogs, then went to horses, and then went to snowmobiles. The wheel was not a part of the early Plains culture. Instead of wagons for transportation they used the travois. In the early times the dogs used to pull the travois. A dog could pull about eighty-eight pounds. Later they got horses to pull the travois.The travois was hitched to the horse by lashing it to the stoutly made woman's saddle. All the family belongings were strapped to the travois. Sometimes even young children got to ride on the travois.What They Were Built From- Two lodge poles were tied to a saddle in two bundles. The butt ends of the poles trailed on the ground behind the horses. The women's saddle had a wooden frame covered with wet rawhide. When it was dried and shrunk, the whole thing got rigid. The packing and transportation methods were so effective that the whole village could be on the trail in an hour's notice. The horses pulled the large travois while the dogs pulled smaller travois. There was a buffalo hide strapped in the middle of the poles to hold all the family possessions.How It Was Used For Hunting- The Blackfoot Indians used the horse and travois the most for hunting. The hunters would go out and shoot deer, elk, rabbits and grouse. Then they would lift them onto the travois which were dragged by the horse and taken back to their village. They used the horse to go hunt all the fast animals that couldn't be hunted on foot. If they shot a lot of animals they would get the dogs with the small travois to carry back the small animals like the rabbits and grouse. Then for the big animals, like deer and elk, they would use the horses with the big travois.
