A travois is a frame used to drag loads over land. The muscle to move it was first provided by dogs, and later-much more efficiently-by horses.
Detailed explanation-2: -Travois Construction The travois consisted of two long, wooden poles, each lashed to the sides of the dog or horse, often with a leather harness. Secured with sinew, a basket or platform was suspended between the two poles that dragged behind the animal.
Detailed explanation-3: -First Nations women both built the travois and managed the dogs, sometimes using toy travois to train the puppies. Buffalo meat and firewood were typical travois loads.
Detailed explanation-4: -The travois served the Native Americans in a number of ingenious ways.
