Detailed explanation-1: -As the Native Americans acquired horses then guns, they were able to travel farther and hunt more efficiently. By the 1700’s almost all Great Plains tribes became nomadic to hunt the buffalo. The increased mobility of the tribes often led to war as one tribe would trespass onto the land of another tribe.
Detailed explanation-2: -But between 1622 and the late 19th century, a series of wars and skirmishes known as the Indian Wars took place between American-Indians and European settlers, mainly over land control.
Detailed explanation-3: -Their acquisition of horses and guns made buffalo hunting much easier. As steamboats started plying the Missouri River into the heart of buffalo country in the 1840’s, hide hunting by the Kiowa, Blackfeet, Sioux and other Plains tribes soared.
Detailed explanation-4: -Threats by Settlement Farmers and ranchers threatened the Native American way of life with permanent settlements, planted acreage, and livestock drives. Miners threatened Native Americans when they sought lands occupied by Native Americans where valuable minerals had been discovered.
