Trasportation: At first the Sioux traveled in birch bark canoes. They also used snow shoes. When they crossed the Missouri River about 1750 they began to use horses for transportation. The Sioux got their horses from the Spanish. A piece of leather was attached at the open end of the logs. This piece of leather was used to carry people or loads.
