Travois
A travois (; Canadian French, from French travail, a frame for restraining horses; also obsolete travoy or travoise) is a historical frame structure that was used by indigenous peoples, notably the Plains Aboriginals of North America, to drag loads over land.
There is evidence to support the thesis that travois were used in other parts of the world before the invention of the wheel.
