The rifle and the horse really, really complimented one another because our people had been going by foot over to buffalo country. They would travel over Lolo Pass, even go by way of Yellowstone and then up in order to acquire buffalo. The horse made it easier to get over there and the rifle made it easier to bring down animals quicker. That was something that changed the speed at which Indians were able to acquire food but it didn’t rightly change the amount, for example there were still rules that told people exactly how much buffalo they were supposed to bring down. One might think that maybe the rifle lended to people utilizing more buffalo but I don’t think that was the case because there were definitely traditions and rules about hunters bringing down more than they could use. They weren’t supposed to do that. That was always remembered. Definitely the distance changed at which you could retrieve an animal. A rifle has a pretty high velocity and that keeps the bullet pretty steady as opposed to an arrow. So the distance at which you could bring down an animal changed greatly.
