Hi Jessica,
I don't know about any archaeological material relevant to the introduction
of the horse, but the ethnographic literature is substantial. To start with
I would recommend:
Ewers, J. C. (1955). The Horse in Blackfoot Culture. Washington, D.C.,
Smithsonian Institution Press.
Secoy, R. R. (1953). Changing Military Patterns on the Great Plains.
Seattle, University of Washington Press.
They are old but classic.
good luck,
Marsha Levine
