A travois is a type of sled or frame, originally used by Native American tribes and other cultures for transporting goods. It consists of two long poles attached to a frame, with one end of each pole fastened to an animal, usually a horse, ox, or dog. The other ends drag on the ground, carrying the load. The design is simple yet effective, making it useful for carrying heavy or bulky items over rough terrain, especially in areas with little to no paved roads.
