Explanation:

When European explorers and conquerors arrived to America, one of the things that impacted the most the Native Americans was the equipment and the usage of horses during battle. Contemporary chroniclers documented that upon beholding the fire weapons, armours and horses of the conquerors, many natives experienced true terror. Even, some chronicles say that was such the distress, that some natives took their own lives.

Shortly after, as the conquerors advanced and gained terrain, indigenous groups had to plan strategies to confront and stop invaders who had more advanced weaponry. To do so, they had to assemble alliances or look for the favour of the invaders to overrun a rival tribe.

They became more valuable than land.
