Answer 1

Answer:

Option: They would not embrace European technology and would only use the bow and arrow

Explanation:

The Plains Indians were aware of the European weapons from the settlers in America. Since the beginning, they saw the superiority of European weapons like guns, gunpowder, tomahawk, which was way more advance from the native weapons like the bow and arrow.

The Plains Indians were always eager to trade fur for weapons like guns to defend themselves from others. They began to use guns to fight with other native Indians who entered in their territories, hunt animals and to fight with Britishers when there was a necessity to defend their land. Europeans sold and gifted arms to Native Americans, and used them as currency.
