Historically, Old World cultures revolved heavily around horses and their different uses as transportation, beasts-of-burden, and in war. Since the New World didn't naturally have horses, how did North American native societies and cultures grow differently? Were there other animals used similarly to horses? And to what degree did most natives actually incorporate the horse into their cultures?
