Abstract
This inquiry into the impact of horses on the village-based life of the Hidatsa focuses on the integration of horses into subsistence practices, political economy, and domestic economy. The main argument is that cultural factors, rather than purely environmental ones, placed constraints on incorporation of the horse and herd sizes. Hence, the importance of equestrianism among the Hidatsa was quite distinct from that described for other nomadic Plains groups.
