European goods that transformed Native life (Name three)
Horses – improved hunting and warfare for Natives (especially in the Great Plains and Basin), weapons and alcohol helped increase the destructiveness of warfare
1. Horses: Horses were brought to the Americas by the Spanish during the 16th century. They quickly spread throughout the continent and completely changed the way of life for many Native American tribes. Horses allowed for easier transportation, making hunting, trade, and warfare more efficient. They also helped to expand the range of many tribes, enabling them to explore and conquer new territories.
2. Guns: Europeans introduced guns to Native Americans during the 17th and 18th centuries. While they were initially used for hunting, they soon became a powerful weapon in warfare. Guns allowed smaller Native American tribes to defend themselves against larger, more powerful enemies. This, in turn, helped to preserve many Native American cultures and ways of life.
3. Metal tools: The introduction of metal tools such as knives, axes, and hoes by Europeans greatly increased the productivity and efficiency of Native American farming and hunting practices. They also allowed for new trades to arise, such as blacksmithing. Additionally, metal tools were used as a form of currency in trade and commerce with Europeans, helping to establish new economic relationships between Native American tribes and European settlers.
