First and foremost, it put the Indians on equal footing with the whites. But they could hunt much better with a horse and gun. Hunting buffalo became more efficient and certainly less dangerous as they could stay a safe distance away for the kill. As with every people prior to the advent of the car, horses meant power and coupled with guns changed their entire social structure.
Native Americans were significantly effected by the introduction of horses and rifles on the Plains Natives. Their entire way of obtaining food changed. Buffalo and deer meat became easier to hunt on horseback and with a rifle.
For a time the Native Americans were complacent about European settlers. That soon ended in various places. In Georgia and Alabama, for example, Cherokee Natives were forced to march to what is now Oklahoma. The better ways of hunting soon became no way to prevent the Natives from losing more and more every year.
Horses and guns affected the native Americans because with horses it meant that they could get to places quickly and they were faster in general. Also guns affected them because the tribe wielding the gun would usually be the tribe winning in battle unless the other tribe also posses guns. It also meant that hunting became much easier for them and considering this, it meant the native Americans would become more healthy. with these two new facilities, the native Americans were finally beginning to develop, but this also meant that the native Americans may have become lazy because everything became easier for them when guns and horses were introduced to them by the European settlers.
The horses change native American lives because with horses the native American can get to places faster
The introduction of horses and firearms changed the fighting style of Native Americans, which was very significant later on when Native Americans would fight the settlers.

When the Europeans originally came to the New World and met the Native Americans, they were not armed with guns. The had bows and arrows, spears, and other similar weapons. They came to use guns afterwards, through the Europeans.

The british hoped to limit american settlement by supplying Native americans with guns and ammunition.
It made no real change to them at all. It is sad to say that they (Native Americans) were always pushed off their lands, killed, or just robbed of anything of value that the American Government or its people wanted.
Europeans valued everything in money terms. Native Americans wanted to live in balance with nature. The Native American population decreased due to disease, war, and government removal to land that would not support them. Native Americans easily became sick from European-imported illnesses. Epidemics of smallpox and measles killed many. The Native American way of life changed after trading with the Europeans. At first Native Americans wanted metal products which they couldn't make themselves, such as axe-heads and knives. Later they realized the value of guns. Having guns and horses completely changed the way Native Americans hunted for food. After the Revolutionary War officially ended in 1783, settlers again poured into Native American territory. This forced Native Americans to move westward. Native Americans had no concept of "private property". Because of this many treaties were signed giving "white men" the right to take the land. kanyokok@yahoo.com
Spanish conquistadors conquered a huge number of Native Americans because the Spanish was armed with guns, hores, swords, etc. But the Native Americans didn't have the weapons the Spanish had.
The Spanish, and in fact all Europeans, had much better military technology than the natives.because they had guns and weapons to conquer !
Well when we started attacking native amaricans we essentialy only beat them because of guns and tecnology. Even though they wheree native to the terrain.
They may have introduced horses, but that's debatable. They brought over diseases like smallpox, which Europeans were immune but wiped out NA communities. They also brought guns and killed people, and made firearms popular with Native Americans. If it weren't for the Europeans, we'd still have thriving tribes.
because the spanish suckThe conquistadors help establish the Spanish empire in the American cause the conquistadors had advantages, like armor, guns and horses the Spanish never seen before.
