Horses significantly transformed the Lakota way of life by enhancing their mobility, hunting capabilities, and social organization. With the introduction of horses in the 17th century, the Lakota could travel greater distances, making it easier to hunt bison and gather resources. This led to a more nomadic lifestyle, allowing them to follow seasonal migrations. Additionally, horses became integral to their culture, symbolizing wealth and status, and facilitating trade and intertribal relations.
Horses did not originate from the Lakota Sioux; rather, they were introduced to Native American tribes, including the Lakota, by Spanish explorers in the 16th century. The Lakota embraced horses, which significantly transformed their culture, economy, and way of life, especially in hunting and mobility. Over time, horses became integral to their identity and societal structure.

In the 1870s, the Lakota people faced significant challenges, primarily due to the U.S. government's policies and actions. Following the 1876 Battle of Little Bighorn, where they achieved a notable victory against U.S. forces, the Lakota were increasingly pressured by the government to surrender and relocate to reservations. By the end of the decade, many Lakota had been forced onto reservations, leading to a loss of their traditional way of life and increased hardships, including poverty and starvation. The 1870s marked a critical period of conflict and transformation for the Lakota Nation.
