Read the excerpt from Chapter 3 and then answer Part A and Part B.

       "North America was a hunter's heaven, and big game hunters had arrived. Some day those hunters will be known as Clovis people—because in the 20th century, their spear tips will be discovered along with mammoth bones at Clovis, New Mexico.  Spear points with bison bones—found near Folsom, New Mexico—will indicate that some early Americans hunted animals like bison, that travel in herds. These versatile hunters—who also kill and eat birds, fish, foxes, and turtles—will thrive in North America."

Read the excerpt from chapter 9 and answer the question that follows.

". . . They give the Indians horses and knives. Soon those Indians will not be poor anymore. Horses will change their lives. (Think about facing a herd of buffalo on foot!) They will be able to gallop across the plains. They will hunt more efficiently. (They will also make war more efficiently.) They will travel great distances and trade with faraway peoples. They will feel free-and powerful.

. . . With horses and rifles (they trade buffalo skins for guns) these Plains Indians hunt and kill large numbers of animals. No longer do they have to use every part of the animal: now that they are affluent, they have become wasteful.

       The Plains Indians are deeply religious; they have many traditions and strict rules of behavior. ‘Something happens to a man when he gets on a horse, in a country where he can ride forever,’ a historian has written, ‘...he either feels like a god or closer to God.’

       Now that they can hunt so effectively, they farm less. Do you see those huge buffalo herds down there? Of course you do! You can’t miss them. Buffalo-millions and millions of them-stretch for miles across the level land. The Plains Indians depend on the buffalo for food and clothing. It is hard to believe, but by the end of the next century, the 19th, the buffalo will be almost extinct, killed by wasteful people."
