Hi Quizmaster, Could I suggest that "travois" be added as a type of sled without runners? Here's a link to the Canadian encyclopedia: http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.com/index.cfm?PgNm=TCE&Params=A1ARTA0008105 "A device for transportation among Plains Indians, the travois consisted of 2 long poles, each lashed to the sides of the dog (and later horse) pulling it. The poles dragged behind and a framework at the rear carried household baggage, including the TIPI cover. The webbed willow frame attached to the ASSINIBOINE travois was circular, and the BLACKFOOT constructed both round and rectangular frames. The dog travois of pre-European times was small, capable of pulling not more than 20 to 30 kg. When dogs were replaced by horses, the greater pulling power allowed tipis to increase in size and household goods to multiply. " Really enjoyed this quiz. Thanks!

Yes, I was picturing a travois too. Also it's "moccasin", not "mocassin".
