Question

what was the importance of the trade in guns and horses among native americans on the plains for the cheyenne and their location on the plains

Answer 1

The Cheyenne were intermediaries in the commerce of horses between the tribal groups of the southern Plains and those of the north-central Plains.

Trade between tribes like Cheyenne of the Plains frequently consisted of exchanging hunting-related goods for agricultural goods like corn and squash. After the seventeenth century, European and American commodities including horses, weapons, and other metal goods were incorporated into the preexisting Plains commerce system. The Assiniboin, Hidatsa, Mandan, Arikara, and later some eastern Sioux groups mediated the trade of guns and other items like bedding, beads, fabric, and kettles that came from the British and French for pelts and buffalo robes from clusters to the west.
